Another post-sailing lesson run tonight, around the same lakes. This time I ran until I just felt pain in my calf, rather than trying to run through it for a half mile. I made it further than I expected. I did figure out that if I run with shorter but quicker strides, it affected me less. Something for me to keep in mind. Tomorrow will be a rest day.

I am doing my run this evening after work but wanted to pop in here before I get to far behind! So many great posts to catch up on!
@ddmom0811 - I feel very fortunate to live here. Both for the scenery and the weather. Definately an ideal running/biking area!
@Daisy471 - lovely rainbow!
@7lenny7 - Tuesdays are my only organized running group days. I met up with 5 friends in the am right by house. And I love your dinner last night! Yummy!
@shanaber - I am glad that you are feeling better.

5 miles today but way too slow given that I'd had lots of recovery time. Need to find a way to get these middle-aged legs moving faster!
@Ohhim: If that's a Pirates cap in your picture, can I assume you're doing those impressive miles around Pittsburgh? If so, what part of town?0 -

I had a sock problem this morning-my fiance is here and I forgot to prep so I couldn't really rummage the way I normally would- so. yeah mismatched it is.
Which means apparently I need to go invest in more because I can't find my socks at the rate I'm burning through them hashtagrunnerproblems. things like this happen:

Tomorrow will be a rest day.

Holy guacamole, there is so much going on in here! Fantastic! I'll have to comeback and play catch up later after I get some studying done, but at least wanted to get my miles posted in quick. I have seven from yesterday and three today to add. Takes me to 20.5/90. Happy running everyone, have a great Thursday!
