Every Run is a Great Run!

Easy 8 miler on a nice cool & comfy (but breezy) morning.  I've had a bit of tightness and soreness in my right achilles the last few days so for this week I'm bagging all the hilly stuff and we'll see how it goes.  If it stays the same or gets worse I'll decrease the mileage and/or add rest days.

8:30/150 

Similar to yesterday, maybe a bit cooler and breezier.  8:32/152.

Did a bit of exploring on the run this morning checking out the new section of trail.  Very nice, about 1 mile of new trail with another mile still needed to connect up to the trail on the other side.

Later went to the gym for 30 min XT plus some core. 

Yes I'm stuck on the 8 miles a day schedule but it seems to be working for me, I've been enjoying these morning runs and the nice cooler temps all week.

8:26/154

Later to the gym for 30 min XT + core. 

Maybe my longest run of the year so I was very glad it was at a relaxed pace with plenty of walk/drink breaks.  Ran with a variety of people and it was great to run 4 or 5 miles with Mark Shelley who I used to run with frequently a few years back before he moved to California.  

Felt bad that Kim wasn't feeling the love so much on this run. She has been a bit under the weather the last part of the week. But she hang tough and finished out her 20 miler. Nice job!
