12 in the a.m.  Slow, but I forgot my watch.  I stopped to stretch my back at mile 8.  Kinda wish I didn't, but I felt better afterward for a couple miles, so it was okay.  I struggled in the last two miles.  Glad I got them in.

Ran 4 miles with Eli while he was biking.  AP 8:31.  (9:04, 8:33, 8:32, 7:54).  I felt good in the last mile.

In the best of worlds I would have done 10 today, but had an otherwise full day.  Ran in the evening and plan on some sort of long run on Monday since I have no school.

AP 8:26.  (8:35, 8:31, 8:35, 8:04). 

Last mile felt okay, but I felt pretty worn out with the strong wind and from all the yard work I've been doing the last few days.  The yard looks pretty great and we have a nice big patch roto-tilled for a hobby garden.  I think Charlotte and I will plant pumpkins and sunflowers, maybe a few other things.  Our strawberries are coming up, but probably won't bear fruit yet this year.

Chuck almost burned down the house yesterday while I was running.  I had cut down a whole bunch of ornamental grass and had raked a bunch of leaves in a pile in our flower beds in the front.  He decided to burn them instead of picking up the dead leaves first.  The railing in the front is pretty singed up.  But it's all good.

Have a blessed Easter, Burt, my only reader :)
