I ran alone at lunch time today. I kept the pace a little quicker than normal and averaged 8:39/mi instead of the more common 9:30-10:00 of late.

I was out at 5:45am but I was alone again. I saw my son Andrew's car warming up to go to basketball so I opted for basketball with him and my old basketball buddies instead. Because of our family's morning routine I only have that option when school's out. I really enjoyed it.

I opted for basketball again this morning. We played for a couple of hours again. There were only 6 then 8 of us so their were no subs. It was great cross training. Even if that's not true, it was sure a lot of fun...and indoors and not icy or cold.

It was only for 5 very slow miles, but at least I got out today. I ran with Larry and Kevin and their Aussie Shepherds. Larry was wearing his studded running shoes...sheet metal screws in the soles.

I'm going to rationalize and call this a recovery week. I averaged 40 miles per week the two previous weeks. It's time to start focusing on getting ready for Painter's and then building mileage to get ready for the Squaw Peak 50.
