It has been a long time since I posted on the blog.  I have been running, but not consistently.  I'm planning to do a local race here in a few weeks and plan to be more consistent.  I ran my favorite half golf course run tonight.  I like it because more than half of it is on a nice dirt trail.

Same basic course as yesterday, but I started from the local park instead of the house.  We took S on a little bike ride to the park.

3/4 Golf course loop.  This is also mostly on dirt, but it has a nice hill about halfway through.  Total time was 28:21 (7:52).

We took S to the park, and I ran loops on this nice paved trail around it.  The loop was about 0.75 miles around, and I did it 4 times.  I ran the first two laps in 11:14 (7:29/mile), picked it up a little for the third lap in 4:52 (6:29/mile), and then ran the last lap in 5:38 (7:30/mile).  It felt pretty good.
