A Lean and Hungry Look

Ran across U campus to Federal Heights Drive, then up to University Hospital, across the med school campus, then through Research Park and home.  Had two unleashed dogs try to attack Maja (no apologies offered by either owner, which left me a little miffed) and battled traffic at about every other intersection once I reached the hospital.  Not the most relaxing run, but at least the weather was nice.

After a pretty lousy week in terms of getting out, I decided I needed some miles in my legs if for no other reason than to give myself the confidence that I could handle running Boston with Brooke without looking like a fool.

Drove out to Hillcrest High around 5:15 and ran north through my old digs in Murray, through Murray Park (restroom was open--great news!), up Atwood, over to 500 East, then up to Liberty Park and back.  Very easy pace--around 8:12 avg on the way out, 7:30 avg on the way back.  Knees felt a little sore for the final few miles, but that's probably due to the lack of miles in the legs.

Very little achilles soreness following the run and throughout the day, so I think Boston is officially a go.  I should also be ready to start training for SG once Boston is over.
