It was in the low 50's this morning, but there were pockets of much warmer air in the neighborhood. I ran about a mile and a half before our group run. I ran a few with them and then ran 3 more with Bob Fisher. I haven't run with him in a couple months so it was nice to chat with him for a while. I ran 7.52 nice and slow recovery miles.

It was 71 degrees this morning, it never really cooled off much. My sister-in-law Kathy was in town so I agreed to run 6 with her. She is coming back next week to run the half-marathon. We ran 6 together and then I ran another 4+ by myself. Total 10.56 miles. This was a nice, easy mileage week for me in hopes of being fresher for the marathon next week.
