4, I think.  I still haven't ran this route with my Garmin, but I know it is close to 4.  Anyway, felt good and am feeling stronger.  I try to push myself up the hills rather than slowing down, like I have done in the past.  I hope I am improving and they don't seem to hurt as bad.  That is good.

My dad ran the course from saturdays run and it was a bit short.  I am still happy with my time though.

Up early to run this morning.  Got up at 5:55 and headed out at 6.  The plan was to go 6 or so to make sure I am ready for the 10k this weekend.  I headed out to where I thought was close to 3, but when I got home my dad told me the turn around was 3.5.  I drove it to make sure and it was.  I should wear my garmin and I would know for sure, but my excuse today was I didn't wake up in time for it to calibrate or whatever it has to do before it works. 

Anyway, I felt really good and it only took me a few minutes over an hour.  That is right about  9's which I am very happy with at this point. 

Happy to be at it again!!!!!!!!!!!

My hip was uncomfortable yesterday for some reason, so I thought running might hurt.  It didn't though, YEAH!!  I went the same 4 as always.  I tried speeding up a block at a time today.  I doubt that is considered speed work, but I hope things like that will help me get stronger and maybe even faster in the long run. 

I am VERY happy to be out there again and running.

Had to get up and get the blood flowing today.  People say you should take a day off, the day before a run, but I didn't.  I feel way to groggy and yucky when I don't run.

Anyway, took it easy (like always).  Same 3, couple of hills.  Feel good.

Excited for Butch Cassidy tomorrow, but not looking forward to the late start.  Oh well.

Today was a great run.  The only complaint I have is it got way hot, way fast and I was more prepared for the cold.  Thank goodness I didn't run in a long sleeved shirt. 

There were a couple good hills and I had to give in and walk 30 steps on the first one.  I walked pretty close to the top of it cuz I ran out of juice. 

Anyway, it was beautiful and I was happy to do it. I run it 2 minutes faster thatn my last 10k which makes me very, very happy.
