AM: Spring Vale Cemetery - 7 miles, averaged 8:47. Warmer weather coming in. Here's hoping it's dry, which I think it should be. Lots of easy running for at least the next 3-4 days anyway, probably nothing until Friday just to be smart.

PM: Municipal Golf course (or the area formerly known as) - 7 miles, averaged 8:17. A bit longer than planned, but it was hot, dry, and breezy. Checked out stretch of trail that I usually use for mile repeats, and it is back in good shape. The golf course is mowed, and I think Brandon said they are making it into a disc golf course. I ran on some of the old paved trails, extended what was supposed to be 5-6. I had never been on the course, but I guess since it wasn't private I could have before the town abandoned it. Should be a fine addition to my cemetery runs.

Is that the golf course that got flooded out?

Nice job on the recovery pace today. I knew it'd come back to you.

Yes, the same one. Really nice to just explore, but I am glad my section is back in operation. There is a good bit of deep brush cover that has grown in the field, so that should help block the wind this fall. That section of trail has a place in my heart forever. I've hit some of my biggest workouts there (not to mention some of my fastest miles).

If I were running singles and sporadic workouts I'd be mad if I ran 8:47. When I am running in the 90s with 15% quality per week, it's a badge of honor!
