Monday, April 26th to Saturday, May 1st

Month of April: 87.2 miles, 13 runs in 30 days, 6.7 miles/run
I ran 2 times, 9.6 miles.

Mon & Tue: Rest days. I thought about running on Tuesday but my aching knees and ankles told me differently.

Wed: Went down to Fleet Feet to buy new trail shoes. I ended up buying a pair of size 12.5 Salomon XT Wings 2. Sweet!

Thu: 5.45 miles, Ellison Park Wetlands, 60F, sunny, calm, some walking up hills, no pain.

Ellison Park Wetlands - White trail

I tried out my new pair of Salomon XT Wings 2 with the Fleet Feet crew out at Ellison Park wetlands. We went out the white trail and back. Nice!

Fri: 4.15 miles, 33:01, 7:56 pace, FF Happy Hour run, 74F, sunny, calm, 1 traffic stop, no pain.

Garmin Connect Activity for Fleet Feet Happy Hour run - reverse

We did the run in reverse in honor of Becky, the cupcake girl, leaving for PA. A sweet run made a bit harder by the reverse and the heat! I signed up for my first trail marathon, the Sehgahunda on May 29th. It will definitely be a severe test of my body.

Sat: Rest day. A long, lazy day. I went to out to Newark to see my sons. My youngest needed my help trying to get his wireless working. Alas, my PCMCIA card wireless won't fit in his PC Express slot. He needs to buy an USB wireless dongle unless he can get his internal wireless card to work. The oldest was ensconced in his room with allergies.

I went down to Medved to pick up my packet for the Medved Madness 15 mile trail run tomorrow morning. I am locked and loaded!

Keeping active, Doug
