Decided to do my long run today since I have a 5k on Saturday and tennis on Sunday.  Definitely need some moleskin, my heel is so tender.  Ran 3.5 in Kent, then Anya and Lisa got there and we ran 4, then I ran 2 more on my own.  Great to run with them!  Short break after 4 when Lisa let us go to the bathroom at her house (Thanks Lisa!).

Rewarded myself with way too much Panda Express when I got home.  Now I am stuffed. :-)
