I ran 2 times this week, 10.2 miles
Mon: 6-ish miles, both sides of Zoo trail, 78F, cloudy, humid, numerous stops, no pain. My runs of late have sucked ... to put it bluntly. I have no stamina.
Fri: 4.2 miles, 32:13, 7:40 pace, FF Happy Hour run, 54F, sunny, a bit windy, no stops, no pain. I bought a pair of Brooks Adrenaline 9s before the run and tested them out. New shoes plus cool temps made for fast splits: 7:13, 8:00, 7:51, 7:42 and 7:12. I missed running for 4 days so I put the hammer down. I felt some tightness in my thighs initially but it passed. A hard and sweet run! I retired my old Brooks Adrenaline 8s with 767.6 miles.
Sat: I waited for my my girlfriend, Christine (henceforth known as CJ) to come out from Cleveland. Yes ... I have a girlfriend. CJ and I went out for about a year when I was 19 and going to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. She "friended" me on Facebook last month. Behold the power of Facebook ... nine days later I visited her in Cleveland ... the spark is still there! Since then I have been to Cleveland again to help her move to a new apartment. Wow is all I have to say!
Keeping active, Doug
