Every Run is a Great Run!

Took it nice and easy this morning. Still feeling my Friday Hobble Creek run in my legs so I'll hold off on any fast/hard stuff until that's gone. Nice and cool temps this morning and plenty windy. I was happy that Kim appears to have survived her first post-injury run without anything real bad happening!

HR monitor wasn't working today for some reason.

Another easy run around the river bottoms.  Legs still a bit tired but better than yesterday.  Had a killer headwind the first 1/2 of the run that I was not loving.

8:43/143

Later to the gym for 30 min XT + core 

I've been enjoying these dry, cooler morning lately. If the wind would behave it would be just about perfect.   Another easy run today but feeling a little better with each day.  Did a few strides along the way to try and wake up the few fast-twitch muscles I have left.

Easy 4 miles in the morning. It was oh so nice to run a bit with the newly rehabilitated and injury free Kimi for the first time in about a month or so.  Mixed in a few strides along the way.  Later got in 30 min XT + core at the gym.

Drove over to Riverwoods then ran up the river trail up to Trefoil and back down.  Ran into the PR 1/2 marathoner's coming down the canyon about a mile or 2 into their race.  Sasha was leading at the time and looks like he held on for 1st place.  Also saw the great one - Terry Bean - who was loafing a little bit at the time and FRBer Jeff L right behind him.

On the way down I caught up to the back of the race pack around Bridal Veil and had fun passing a zillion people the rest of way.  It was a nice distraction and helped make the last 5 miles of the 22 miler go by quickly.

Just kept the pace nice and easy the whole time in hopes that I'll have some life in the legs next week for Hobble Creek.
