3 miles @ 8:34/mi Neighborhood 5K route solo.

Another short run in the zero-drop shoes. I pushed the pace pretty well.

Cross training - basketball.

I read that as runners age it can be beneficial to cross train a little more to not be so hard on the old body. For the summer, I've decided to return and play basketball with my old group. Some of them have been playing together for about 20 years. My son has been playing with them for about 10 years. I really enjoy it. I hope I remember how and can keep up.

4.5 miles @ 8.56/mi North on Murdoch Trail with Nick, Joe, Larry, and Jolene.

We walked and stopped and talked with people a couple of times for the first 30 minutes. Once we started running I didn't have a lot of time so I took off and pushed the first mile in 8:17. I knew I couldn't hold that pace, but I've been trying to push at a faster pace a little more often. I figure running a few miles after getting pretty tired is good training, too.
