Walk/run (Dog walk) 27:43 [3] 2.5 mi (11:04 / mi) +42ft 10:54 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Walk/run on the Hojack Trail, with Homer. He stopped for a swim in the creek at about the turnaround point.

The hourly forecast said no rain until 1 pm but I really didn't believe it, based on the appearance of the sky and the radar. But still I was hoping we'd beat the rain. No way, however ... it was raining steadily but light to medium for about the last 10 minutes, resulting in a somewhat wet car (not from Homer as he has his blanket, but from me).

1 PM

Pickleball 1:05:00 [2]

Indoors at the Rec Center. Had around 16 people. I had to leave early for an appt with a roofing contractor or I would have certainly played longer.

Walk with Homer, over to Finn Park and back. Another opportunity to try out / break in my new shoes. They still feel good, fortunately ...

Walk/run 21:01 [3] 1.94 mi (10:51 / mi) +8ft 10:49 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

I've been encouraged enough from my few running outings that I decided to buy some new shoes. First running shoes of any kind I've bought in more than a year, and first road shoes I've bought in something like 2 years. So I took a trip down to DSW, tried on a few shoes of brands I've worn before, but nothing felt quite right. So I tried some more expensive shoes of a brand I haven't had in many years, and they felt quite good, so I splurged for them.

Of course, I just had to try them out right away. Did 1 min walk / 1 min run. Shoes did feel OK although that's not much of a test.

Mid to upper 80's, very humid -- so fine!!!!

6 PM

Walking 30:00 [1] 1.76 mi (17:03 / mi) +1ft 17:03 / mi

Cheryl had a haircut appt at the place on Park Ave near Berkeley that she goes to, and she asked if I could come along with her, and go out to eat at a restaurant on Park Ave. So I went out for a walk while her hair was being cut.

Lotsa people on Park Ave. tonight; running, walking, eating at the outdoor tables, etc.

9 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 31:00 [1] 1.72 mi (18:00 / mi)

Late-evening dog walk. Still a bit warm, but a nice breeze so it felt reasonably pleasant. Took a longer than normal walk (for the last walk of the day). Out to Maple, then north on Maple for about 5 minutes, then headed back. Maple was unusually peaceful -- the whole walk north on Maple, no cars passed me in either direction, nor could even be seen in the distance. And only 2 cars encountered on the way back.

9 AM

Strength 35:00 [3]

Fitness room workout at the Rec Center. As usual, my main focus was on legs, but I did the two upper body exercises (lateral pulldowns and shoulder presses) that I occasionally, but not regularly, do.

My upper body is disgustingly weak ... and not really improving (although it probably doesn't help that I often find an excuse to not do those exercises).

The weights I can do on the leg workout machines, by contrast, are all steadily improving. My be just wishful thinking, but I do think the workouts are helping my knee issues.

11 AM

Walking (Dog walk) 1:09:27 [1] 4.16 mi (16:42 / mi) +40ft 16:33 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 3

Hojack Trail, with Homer. From Klem Rd to North Ponds Park, around the ponds, and back. Stopped twice for Homer to have a dip in the pond.

4 PM

Walk/run (Dog walk) 26:03 [2] 2.12 mi (12:17 / mi) +14ft 12:12 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 3

Walk/run with Homer over to Finn Park and around the field.

Walking (Dog walk) 8:35 [1] 0.51 mi (16:52 / mi) +6ft 16:41 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel Venture 3

Walking the last half mile home after the run/walk, as Homer seemed to have lost interest in the running portion, plus I didn't want to push things with my knees on pavement.
