| I have been running about 3-4 times per week over the past month. It has been great to get out and get back into shape.

| Drove to the Prairie Grass Trail, ran a 1.5 mile warmup, turned around, and did 7 x 0.1 mile strides with about the same distance resting jog in between. It felt good to run a bit faster and stretch the legs out a bit. Drove home and did another 1.8 easy miles around the neighborhood. It was pretty cool and windy, but sunny.

| The usual school loop in a time of 23:21. It was pretty warm with temps in the 60s, but it is supposed to get cooler. It was a nice, still day with little wind. I felt good.

| School loop. Legs felt a little sluggish today. I'm guessing it is because I didn't sleep well last night.

| I tried to run between the rainshowers but got caught in a downpour. Otherwise, it was a good run on my usual school loop plus. I did 4 strides in the middle and pushed the pace a little bit in the last mile after the rain stopped. My calf tightened up after the run and still feels pretty tight now. Time was 31:12 (7:48/mile).

| I ran out past Walgreens around the housing addition and back. The legs were tight and took over a mile to loosen up a bit. My knees were hurting a little bit with more on the right leg. I need new shoes. Maybe Santa will bring me some.

| Ran out to the Lincoln Prairie Grass Trail, and then ran east to the interstate and back. I felt pretty good. My right knee was still a little sore, and my left calf was a little tight. Running on mostly sidwalks has not been kind to my legs. I tried to run on the grass or gravel along the side of the trail as much as possible, and that helped.

| I ran my Walgreens loop with a little extra. It was fairly cold today (29 degrees F) with a cold headwind almost the entire way out and then a tailwind most of the way back. I did 4 strides on the way back to stretch the legs a bit. Ran around the block with my youngest. Legs felt good, but my back has been tight.
