After a year or something, it's time to resume the blog and see if this can help with a little discipline. I've become a 3-4 times a week runner who doesn't race; I'm hoping maybe I'm not that guy just yet. 

Illahee Preserve loop on a quiet Sunday afternoon (everyone else was indoors watching the Seahawks lose; Bears fans had the trails to themselves). 30:00

Monday morning basketball at the Y. This has been my main exercise the past six months. We have a good twice-a-week game going. Usually 3-on-3 for an hour; sometimes we get fours and can run the floor, which is fun.

Late morning run because I'm working a later shift. YMCA loop, then a little additional time looping around Shore Drive. I tried to stop at the bike shop and get my bike after its tune-up, but the guy was out running errands. 33:30

Struggled to run for a few days, had to shift to some nights at work and other obligations that ate up my schedule. But the rain stopped this morning and it was a party sunny and warmer day than I expected. I ran the opposite direction on my old bridges loop, doing Manette first and then Warren, back home on the new sidewalk construction on Old Wheaton and then up 11th. Felt fine, though my fitness is not where I'd like it. 35:17
