Day #7. Looks like showers and cooler in the morning. Good day to get back at it. Slowly.

Vinton Woods in reverse, shorty version - 6.25 miles, averaged 8:01. Feels a bit like a jungle out there.

Had to Shoo Goo my Kinvaras, but I think they are good for a few hundred more miles. They aren't holding up in a few areas, but I like the shoe enough on recovery days (and it's a peach of a sockless shoe) that I'll probably keep at least one pair in the rotation.

Nothing. Lazy and grumpy. Cooler this weekend and next week. I think I'll mix in a trail run this weekend (~10-11 miles) and do some mini-doubles next week to ease back into things. I'm much happier when I'm running, so it seems the thing to do. I've just been worried I'll break something getting back into things too quickly, but it's pretty much easy running for the next 4 weeks anyway.

Evening: Pouring some libations to the Bamster. His wit, shenanigans, and training advice will be greatly missed.

Ran to the trail head on 9th and down the Heritage Trail and back - 7.75 miles, averaged 8:14

It's weird to see the golf course after the flooding and the city's abandonment of it. Basically it looks like a field. My private track (the 1+ mile paved section where I do intervals) is a bit sandy. I imagine it will be a few weeks before I am ready for anything fast, but I think I will hit the track a bit this summer to change things up and wait for some of the sand to wash away.

Afternoon: Walked 2.25 miles from campus. CityBus seems to having some trouble deciding how it  wants to deal with the construction and it's anyone's guess if they will use the regular stop or the temporary one.  Guess I should feel lucky to be 28 and fit, unlike the old guy with an impossible body type who also missed the bus and had to wait another half hour. If I had access to a shower I would commute run.

Evening: Fink Cemetery/Fire Cracker Loop - 10 miles, averaged 7:38. Sweaty, but felt great.

North side - 7 miles, averaged 8:03. Did some strides. There's still a runner under all that baby fat. I know it.
