Total Distance
4.50

Yesterday's miles must have worked something out of my legs, because they felt refreshed today. Still, I took it easy, just covered some distance on a windy and gray Monday morning. Regular route through Manette to Bachman Park and back over the Warren Ave. bridge.

Consistency in training does miracles. I was not joking when I said you had 2:30 potential. It will come with proper training.

2:30! "You could be fast, but you are too slow!" I am just kidding about that one too.

Was the Rhody Run the one that you ran last year, I can't remember?

I ran the SeaFair 5k last year. It's more of a festival run with a lot of recreational runners and just a few real competitive people. They don't have any series-type things like Ogden around here that I can tell. There's a 10k this weekend here I may run, and that kind of gets the season started I think.
