Home to trails with group and back. A little more humid than it's been had me sweating a ton. My stomach was a little sketchy but overall everything was fine. We never pushed too hard and everyone seemed to be happy to take it easy and stay consistent.

Memorial - outer loop. With Gordy. We got a late start from bringing Happy to the vet so it was getting pretty warm and we kept it short. Besides, we didn't want to run long, just wanted the G-man to get to blow out the pipes a little. Ran 7:30 pace for the first 2 miles, a little faster from 2 to 2.5 then the last half mile was nice in 3:20 (6:40 pace).

Started off and everything hurt, nothing got better, and I bailed. It was pure misery. Felt like I was running in quicksand and with every step I was going in deeper until I could barely lift my legs. I can't being to know the causes. I'm going to forget today ever happened and move on.

Home/South Memorial to the water hoses/ to endless, yellow, purple all the way back to the hoses/ back home - w/Gordy. Definitely getting warmer out there and a little more humid, as well. Time for the nip-tape again. I really gotta toughen those puppies up! Ran pretty hard today. The last mile on the way home was at 7:05, little guy was hustling.

Note - full distance was 6.5 miles but we stopped running at 6 and enjoyed a nice long cool-down walk back to the house.

Home/Green/Endless/Rugby parking and back. Another gorgeous day and I wanted to make the most of it. Beautiful cool weather.

Home/Green out and back w/Gordy. Stunning day. Won't be too many more of these, if any. Perfect temps, bright sunshine, not another human on the trails. We got buzzed on the way back by a falcon... I think Gordy was just a touch too big for him, though.
