Good run today, both in terms of how I felt and overall progress. I hit a trail that goes to the high point in the county, and the softer footing felt great for my legs. Eight is my longest run so it was good to get past that milestone, but it was also good for pushing myself. The weather was rainy and windy, and the trail was pretty hilly with some long stretches. Pushing through that in bad weather, sloppy footing and unknown hills was good for me mentally. Obviously I picked up the pace coming down, so I got to stretch my legs and push my heartrate a bit. Even going up I was able to keep a good pace. Now that I'm home eating lunch, the sun's coming out. Of course.

One of my standard loops, a few little surges, nothing too taxing but not too lazy either.

Another good run on my usual loop (Manette Bridge to Bachman Park and back through Evergreen Park). I'm comfortable with this distance now, maybe even too comfortable, but I'm trying to hold myself back and be very conservative as I build up my mileage.  I have to keep reminding myself it's still very early in my season.
