Cross training: Basketball with Andrew & the old morning gang.

I should probably establish some sort of formal training plan to get ready for the St. George marathon in October, but I just don't feel like it right now, and it seems so far off. I may just play it by ear for the next week or two, and mix in some basketball.

6.5 miles @ 10:44/mi.  Water tank hills solo.

I don't know if this was an easy hard run or a hard easy run. I tried to run easy pace throughout, but there's not much easy about running up the water tank hills.

I don't think my legs have fully recovered from the marathon 1.5 weeks ago, but they're feeling pretty good.

6.9 miles @ 15:08/mi.  Water tank foothills with Wayne, Larry & Jo.

Very enjoyable easy run with good friends I haven't been able to run with for a while. It got a little hot, but there was a good breeze for most of the run. We're all getting old but we're not dead yet. We ran into Gary and Lynne near the end of our run. They are both older than all of us. Gary is 75. He's had hip replacement and she's had knee replacement. They were 10 miles into a 20 mile run, and had done 20 miles last Saturday also. I guess there's hope for a few more years of running for us youngsters (I'm the baby at 55.)
