Shannon bailed Friday, so did the WHP/PH loop on my own in the morning. Warm, went slow, felt OK.

The planned Monday run just didn't happen. Forced myself to shove aside inertia and at least trundle down the path for a little while. Went quite slow but happy to have gone.

In CA (!) with Bruce and Michelle, slow around the Shell Ridge trail in Walnut Creek. Enjoyable short run with tough hills/footing at times.

Shell Ridge again, on my own. Found a dirt road with nasty hills so ran that loop twice.

2nd race of the year. No expectations, but it was a nice cool, cloudy morning, so I was able to run pretty hard for my current fitness. Splits were 6:58, 7:11, 7:30, which reflected a pretty steady effort on a net positive split course. In addition to running more miles I need to lose weight!

Ran WHP from HC. Cool fog, warm muggy sun mix. Felt pretty good--legs not tired after a lot of steps and some more intense running yesterday.

Nice shakeout run in cooler-than-expected sea breeze. Wildlife sighting: porcupine right next to the path.

Very slow with Gareth around Aunt Betty. Warm evening made it feel a bit more difficult, but 7.5 miles! Progress, progress.

Warm, felt meh, short, but this is the kind of run that will get me to RtB eventually.

Very warm and muggy. Around WHP/PH before heading to So ME. Got going a little quick for the conditions, eased back and averaged 8:22s in the end.

With Jim in VT. Felt strong, nice morning, suburban Essex run. Didn't want to take 2 days off in a row, but was OK for this.

Double digits! Ran with Edge Sunday group, joined up with a young guy training for 10ks. Ran 8:11 out, a lot slower back, but de nada, glad to run the full distance.
