Easy run before cooking supper. Dreary day, but sun came out during latter part of my run.

Easy night run. Three hill repeats in the valley at the end. Some little kids got hold of a car and were swerving around in the park's parking lot and racing up and down the hill. Some of them live in my apartment, and had seen me shaking my fist at them in the valley. In the apartment lobby, they asked, "Was that you in the valley? Aren't you afraid to be running down there in the dark? We've seen coyotes there." Um, no. I'm more afraid of 12-year-olds driving a car at a ridiculous speed.

I guess I was young and stupid once... well, I guess running alone at night isn't much smarter.

For the first 30 mins, kept thinking about going back to bed... Great run once I got warmed up. Trails were a bit muddy in places, but very runnable. This is my favourite time of year to run. A bit of a twitch on my right knee, but disappeared after I stopped and stretched it out for a minute. After a slack year, I'm really anxious to get back in shape.

Night run on the trails. First time out with a headlamp. Didn't see any skunks, but sure smelled them. The Myo did an incredible job of lighting up the trail. Hopefully I can see some deer at some point. A bit weirded out at the prospect of running into people at night who are living out there...

Just a quick run from work to the in-laws for my mother-in-law's birthday dinner. Would have liked to have been out longer, but perhaps for the best. My body still feels out of whack from the hospital festivities on the weekend.

Easy trail run before heading to work.
