Glorious 68 degree day. Was thinking of taking the day off, but too nice of weather to miss. Had to run easy after yesterday's long downhill run - quads very sore. Also, had run 40 miles in 4 days at a 7:44 average pace. Another easy day tomorrow.
With Donny and son. Ran to the start of the Fitger's 5K. About an 800 foot drop - last 3 miles were at a 7:20 pace. Great day for a run. Really beat - quads sore.
Wonderful day in the mid-60s, however a stiff SE wind. Planned on running around 8:20 pace, so was very surprised I was running so fast. Nice weather makes running so much easier. Will run to Fitger's in the morning to see the race.
50 degrees, but stiff East wind. Tempo run - felt under control with a lot left at the end. Still do not feel sharp, but realize most runners my age cannot run this fast in a race - so I am satisfied.
In Bemidji on bikepaths. Low 50s, ran in shorts. Had a cold and sore lower back (right side which is unusual) and hip. The closer I get to 70 the more it seems like my body is falling apart. My run on my birthday will not be the hard effort I planned. Just a 70 minute run on the track.
