All moved in and unpacking at new house.  PM Long Run with Tim and Danny.  Run out to Grandview to meet them and a 7mi. loop around the big lake.  Very nice day with a little breeze blowing and milder temps.  Run back home mostly with DAnny and continuing roughly AT effort.  About 7 min. / mile is about AT...

AM series Race in Brownstown. Out and back in Jackson Fairgrounds.  Somebody stirred up a hornet's nest and lots of folks got stung!  That was an interesting twist during the race.  Slow racing is a norm for me these days. 19 minutes fel t hard... oh well.  ran hill sprints and sprints afterward.  Also, ran to bars later in the night and then ran home.
