A slow start to July, I took a nice five-day rest after the marathon. I really only needed three and my legs were feeling fine by Tuesday, but I rode my bike a few days and just waited until today to get back at it. It's still beautiful outside and great for running, so I was itching to return. Five miles on the Warren Ave-Manette Bridge loop, then down Shore Drive and back up the refurbished Manette trail. At two miles I felt a little residual fatigue left over in my legs, but it went away and I relaxed throughout. Really felt healthy and my legs are strong. The trail was recently rebuilt by a bunch of people in my neighborhood (instead of helping, I was always doing my Saturday long runs), and they built a watering station so whoever uses it can water the plants. No one had done so since Wednesday, so I stopped (it's about the 4.5 mile mark) and did some watering. Then wrapped up the run home. 37:56 supernova glide -- 330
