North side - 7 miles, averaged 7:47.

Wanted to run more on National Running Day, but I'm getting a bit excited and ready to run some miles, so I'm trying to hold back on the ponies. So I kept it easy and decided on a pickup to see were my lungs were. Did a bit under half mile pickup around 5k effort. Did .42 @ 5:33 pace. Felt good.

+1 loose dog from yesterday. I had to mule kick the little ankle grabber because it was going for my feet.

Nice pickup Jason. Looks like you were cruising.

Hopefully Tippy got the hint and leaves you alone next time. :)

It felt good. I was definitely running pretty hard, but I was very in control and I think I should be close to that pace for a 5k in 6 weeks. I won't know where my fitness is until I start doing faster workouts in 2-3 weeks, but aerobically I am bouncing back extremely well. Very pleased. As for the pup, I didn't do too much more than nudge it. I usually tell them to go home, but this one was going for my feet!
