Whew! 5 miles on the treadmill was tough going forcing me to stop at each mile or so. It's always this way when I start back up from a break.

Today's schedule required only 2.0 miles so I tried to push the pace a bit here-and-there. Was able to do the entire distance without stopping which is great.

It was an absolutely gorgeous evening so rather than waste it on a rest day I trotted a slow 3.0 miles through the nearby neighborhoods. Did it all without stopping. Yay!

Nice evening for running but I had to recover a bit in anticipation of tomorrow's run so I did an easy 2.0.

Finishing off a busy weekend with a nice "relaxing" run as thunderclouds formed. Stopped at each mile to keep things easy.

Found a nodule on the achilles tendon of my left foot today. Not painful to the touch nor is my achilles sensitive. Wore older running shoes for a short two mile trot today.
