2 mile walk with MR in the hood

Not sure why I wasn't in the mood to wake up, but I wasn't.  So I didn't.

Went for a pm run with Wyatt.  I forgot my super knee brace, and she'd done 8 miles back to back Sat/Sun, so we kept it short.  3 miles wasn't nearly long enough for me to visit, but it was a good start.

Two runs.  10k in the morning- did some good speedy paces, and progressive as well.  Ran with my friends Orion, Venus, and Dipper.  They're such good listeners.

In the pm I ran with MR on some wicked trails.  Lots of hills and washouts on the trails.  First time on this particular trail.  It's what the army uses to train on driving humvees up and down steep uneven ground.  Wowwie-wow-wow!  It was 1.74 out, which we ran all the way- but needed a couple walk breaks on the way back so we did a little extra at the end.  3.27 miles total.

Running in the hood in the morning with my 3 friends again.  Took it easy.  It was progressive, but slower than yesterday.  Hoping for a run home today :-)

5.03 miles home in the afternoon.  About 80 degrees, and beautiful!

My foot was kind of sore..I'm wondering if it's my right shoe.  I had troubles with the tongue, then the top of the laces, and now the bottom of my foot.  So I found some old brooks shoes that have less than 500 miles on them and used them this morning.  They felt good on my foot.  Maybe it's time for a different brand for a while.

I just did 2 miles w/o garmin or headlamp.  Just stayed in the hood and enjoyed the stars.  I did a few fartleks the last mile. 

Going to run home in my brooks and see how those treat the footsies.

Ran home, same pace as yesterday's run home, but today my legs were tired and the last few miles, my quads were sore.  The brooks felt okay on my foot as I ran, but a few hours after running, my foot is achy again.  I think it's time for a break.  This weekend will be my week-end off from a long run.  Maybe my weekend off from all runs.  It's probably going to rain because of that silly storm, so I'm going to drink hot chocolate and bake cookies.  Or something like that.

It was nice to see my two best friends getting along with each other on my run home.  Moon & Sun - playing in the afternoon clouds together :-)

 

So the moon isn't easy to see in the photo, but it's above the long line of clouds on the right half of the photo.  I promise.  After 5 miles, I realized that the trees are starting to change colors.  I'm seeing some reds and a few yellows.  Pretty :-)
