Catch me if you can

5 miles on the trail and 3 miles around work.  Average pace 8:43.

Austin left for New York this morning.  The group was meeting too far away for me to see him off and still make it, so I ran on my own.  I did the SJ Soccer Fields loop twice for 6 miles.  It was very windy.  I startled two huge dogs that didn't hear me coming because of the wind.  It's a good thing the owner had a good grip on them, because they were ready to attack me.  I got to work and ran another 4 miles.  I made it up to 1300 W. and back..

Average pace 9:01

The weather was perfect this morning.  It was only about 59 degrees.  I could have run all day.  I started with 3 miles with Taylor.  Then I ran another mile on my own.  I got to work and ran another 3 miles.  I felt great.  Average pace 8:25.

I met the BBK's at O'Roi Hardy park.  I thought I would be running a 5k at 7:00 at work, so I didn't want to push it too hard.  I was able to run with Kelli for a little bit which I loved.  I tried to sneak off the trail to find a bathroom and almost ran right into a skunk.  I won't be doing that again.  I ended up with 5.5 miles - average pace 8:42. 

I made it to work just in time to run with the group there.  We ended up not doing the 5k but it was still a good run.  We ran 1.5 miles to the trail then a hard one mile to 10600.  We regrouped and ran an easy pace up by the dealership and then a hard sprint back uphill to work.  It was fun.  Average pace 8:25.

3 easy miles with Taylor.  My stomach was not happy.

I ran the BST again with Angela and Brooke.  I think the trail running is finally starting to get a little easier.  I've know for the past few weeks that it was just a matter of time before I fell, and today was the day.  I landed hard on my palms, my left knee and my left shoulder.  I'm sure that will be the first of many falls this summer.  Average pace was under 11 mm.  I'm happy with that.
