Brandon picked me up and we went to the celery bog. We did about 1.5 miles in the woods on the bark and then looped around campus ranging from 7:45-7:20 pace. Did another 1.5-2 miles on the bark (or is it wood chips?) - 12 miles, averaged about 7:50 I think. My watch was being funky. Plenty fast for a recovery day, but that's what you get for running with a former 30:1x 10k runner getting back into shape! Nice to chat and run and explore other loops.

Watched some Beach to Beacon footage. Got slight butterflies in my stomach (not like before a game in high school, the exciting kind before a race).

I would have to say that is a Bill Rodgers coming by at 2:10

Sadly no celery these days. I was hungry and dehydrated. Would have been perfect.

I am leaning toward mulch, but it's not mulch you would use in the yard.
