Highland Glen Loop. Averaged 8:29. Legs felt better than they have in a long time. No pain or soreness to speak of.

Quite warm this morning as I was comfortable in just a long-sleeve shirt (and reflective vest). Nearly ran into three deer at the south entrance to the park and then almost ran into another doe right behind the house (it jumped into the creek and slipped into the trees to get away).

Took it a little easier this morning on the Highland Glen Loop. Average pace was 8:31. Actually saw a few others out this morning. Ran without the knee brace this morning. Seemed OK, but will have to see how it feels later on this morning.

Regular Highland Glen loop. Warm this morning with the cloud cover. No wind to speak of. Hip flexors a little sore starting out, but that went away after half a mile or so. Didn't feel quite as energetic as Monday, but still felt OK. I figure that after I establish a good base in another week or so that I can start adding some variation. Right now I just need to get used to running six days a week again.

A fairly nice morning for a run (especially compared to yesterday's wind and rain).  Temperature was in the low 40's with overcast skies and gusty winds out of the north and northeast. My legs felt pretty good this morning and were grateful for the day off (my knee was a bit sore after Wednesday's run). Ran standard Highland Glen loop. I may try for a 10 miler tomorrow.

Very windy with a threat of rain. Temperature in the low 40's. Regular Highland Gen loop. Pushed it a little harder than usual just to get out of the wind. Average pace 8:23.
