12.2 miles @ 9:14/mi.  Murdock trail north solo birthday run.

I took the day off for my birthday so I skipped the morning run and went for an early afternoon run when it was light and warmer. The only downside was eating at Taco Bell shortly before running. Fortunately I picked a route with restrooms about every 3 miles. I made a couple of very timely pit stops along the way. Still I have no regrets and enjoyed the alone time to ponder and appreciate how blessed I've been throughout my life and continue to be.

Nice easy day. A little on the dark and chilly side, but enjoyable conversation.

5.2 miles @ 11:07/mi.  Dry Canyon trailhead solo.

I was running so slowly that I decided I might as well give myself an excuse and run the big hills. I ran easy pace up and down. I don't remember struggling at all up the hills. I must be getting stronger...or maybe my memories just getting shorter.

12 miles @ 8:55/mi.  Murdock trail north with Kevin.

We ran from 11am-1pm. It was my first long warm weather run in a long time. I really needed a drink by the end. I hope they get the fountains turned on soon. I was really dragging by the end of the run. Part of that may be due to two long runs this week.
