Out to Payson Park and back. I felt just slow and tired as usual. Not sure why I am not getting faster and stronger... Maybe this is what being old is all about... HAHa. My average pace was 9:11 with a total time of 1:06:03, I finished up with some upper body weights and some push-ups.

See you tomorrow.

Out past Mini Gu and back to the house. I felt pretty good once I got back to the house so I tacked on another mile. I started out a little rough but then I steadly improved each mile and felt stronger as the run went on, more fluid. My average pace was 9:15 with a total time of 1:06:10, I finished up with some lower body weights.

Happy 4th!

See you tomorrow.
