Sunday, June 13th to Saturday, June 19th

I ran 2 times this week, 8 miles.

Mon: 4 miles on the treadmill at Planet Fitness.

I actually went to Planet Fitness after 113 days! I did 2 miles at 7:30 pace, did a circuit on the machines, then finished with another 2 miles at 8:00 pace. I discovered that my left knee is weaker than my right. I didn't push.

Tue: Rest night.

Wed: 4 miles, 41:55, Dirt Cheap #3, 76F, sunny, windy, no pain.


It was sunny, windy and humid at the start. I wore my sunglasses with the clear shades so I could see the roots. I stuck with people at my pace. I slipped on my butt, on my right side in the deceptively slippery mud. No bees this time. I did pretty well. I finished 86th out of 222, results here. I was 5th out of 15 in my age group, results here. All in all, a bunch of fun in the mud. Nothing a good shower won't wash off.

Thu: Rest night. CJ came back from Cleveland! Plus the Lakers beat the Celtics in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals, link here. So ... it was a sweet day all the way around!

Fri: Rest day. Not much sleep (coffee helped), did make it to work.

Sat: CJ and I made it out to Lyons to see my father at the Wayne County Nursing Home. I saw my brother, Don, out there too.

Keeping active, Doug
