An easy 5 miles in the afternoon. It felt good with a few sprinkles and cloudy, cooler temps. Time was 38:31 (7:42/mile).

Around 3.65 miles out past Walgreens and back. I wanted to go more, but I didn't have time. Kids went back to school today and had to get back to watch the baby. Time was 28:09.

Quick evening run down to the school and back. Kids are back in school so it tends to be harder to get out and run.
