I ran the Oklahoma avenue out and back (1.6 miles) with my daughter in 17:15 and then ran more on my own. She ran it faster than the previous time and continues to improve. I ran my Walgreens 2.5 mile short loop in 18:17.

I ran 2 with my oldest. She has her first cross country meet coming up this Saturday and had never run 2 miles straight, so we did that to give her an idea of the distance. She ran it in 20:34. I then ran my elementary school loop in 22:04 (7:21/mile).

I did my Walgreens-Wabash short loop in 23:35 (7:22/mile). It was a really nice day. I then mowed the neighbors lawn.

It was late, but I wanted to get out for a run. I did an out and back to the school. The out was a 1.25 warmup in 9:44. I decided to do a tempo run on the way back to test my fitness a bit. I entered a race on the 22nd, and my goal is to go under 19 for the 3 miles. I think it is doable, but I don't know. My total time was 17:36 (7:02/mile) so I went 7:52 on the way back. That is a 6:18/mile pace. It felt fairly sustainable. I haven't had as much mileage recently so I will see how it goes in the race.
