3.1 miles on the neighborhood roads with my wife. It was her idea to run roads, I don't like pavement.

Dawn and I ran up Perry Canyon. While on the double track, 3 young guys were quite a ways ahead of us with backpacks. Their footprints were from flat-soled 'skater' shoes. I thought it was weird for hiking. A truck rapidly passed us (dusty). When we got to the top of the hill we saw 3 very sad guys, packs emptied on the ground exposing their liquor bottles. 'Officer Friendly' was telling them there will be no party for them tonight. Amazing what you can encounter on the trails. Added excitement to our run.

My wife and I ran 4 miles on the canal road. I felt good, my endurance is coming back, my pace is improving and tonight I had no hip/leg pain.

Ran 4.25 miles on the canal road with my wife. Our excitement tonight was our encounter with a rattlesnake that did not want to move. We turned around about 100 feet before our normal turn around, but ran past the house a bit further to make up for it. Yay, no leg/hip pain again tonight.

5-1/2 mile run in Garden of the Gods (Colorado Springs, CO). Was in Colorado for my daughter's wedding open house. Amazing red and white rock formations. Saw a Big Horn Sheep standing on a rock silhouetted against the sky. Amazing run/views.
