Ran the Highland Glen loop this morning. As it was a bit on the chilly side starting out, I ran a little faster than planned. As I felt great after the warm-up, I pushed it for the next couple of miles and pushed it even a little harder on the last 1.2 miles.

Nice run Kerry! Glad to see you're recovering well from the marathon.

It sounds like your recovery is slightly ahead of mine. We both went the same distance today, but you averaged around 8:00/mi for the entire run and I only averaged 8:00/mi for the last half. The first half was closer to 9:00/mi. Keep it up.

Glad to hear that both of you survived the layoffs. It always seems to take a while to recover afterwards. Thank goodness we have our running to keep us sane :)
