.5 incline, 2 @ 7 mph, 2 @ 7.5 mph then 4 @ 8.5 mph.  .5 cool down.  Afterward, I went straight for the strawberry ice cream with an oreo.  The workout felt great.  I'm feeling much stronger than last month; no surprise, the mileage is back to a somewhat respectable level.  I was so revved up I didn't go to bed till around 1.  I'm certainly dragging this morning.

Easy 5 in crocs.  I love not buying new shoes.  Let me restate.  My wallet loves not buying new shoes.

This was a dead-eye imperative run; my wife ushered me out the door.  I stepped off the porch, and pushed start on my watch.  First mile was 6:50.  Then I kept going to the 10k turnaround.  I got there in 20:50.  So at least that's sub-7 pace.  I came home easier, but the tempo had been set, so my pace kept drifting up.

 I think two differences between being a runner and a jogger is a watch, and signing up for races.  I've done a lot of jogging this winter.

First herding cats run of the year, with Anna, Ash and Jack in the stroller.  We made it to Freedom Hills.  Anna's power-legs took her halfway up Old Haul Road.  Ash pushed her bike the whole slope.  I ran the whole thing.  They played at the park for a bit, but the setting sun and stabbing mosquitos chased us home before they were ready to leave.  Recovery cheesecake afterward.
