4 miles @ 10:18/mi.  Extended neighborhood loop solo.

My legs were sluggish this morning, with a few aches and pains, likely lingering effects of Saturday's run. I decided to go shorter at easy pace and just loosen them up. I think it worked. We'll see how the rest of the week goes.

5.5 miles @ 9:18/mi.  Murdock trail north with Kevin.

Kevin's been gone vacationing and scout camping. It was nice to run with him again. Maybe I'll be able to back into a regular routine instead of the "if it feels right do it" mode I've been in...which isn't all bad.

8.15 miles - Hope Campground towards Hobble Creek with Larry & Jo.

We followed the trail used by the Squaw Peak 50 going out and came back on the road. Everything was beautiful. We didn't go real far or fast, and stopped to chat at times. We were out for about 2.5 hours.
