Stoic

Millcreek run with black sheep from Birch Hollow to end  and back.  Started a little late, 8, so it was a warm run.  Great to be on that trail again.

Casto loop. 

Speedwork at East High Track.  A couple sore spots in the legs from ultimate frisbee on Sat., but overall felt pretty good.  I feel like the speed work is starting to pay dividends.

Oh yes, and it's a girl. 

Casto to S-Curve Loop.  Beautiful full yellow moon this morning.  Kept a quick pace throughout and accelerated the last few (downhill) miles. 

Radda run in the rain.   Ran with the group until the 8 mile turn, then Amy and I went on for 8.  No spicy miles in Chad's absence.  I know there is lots of research that exercise promotes mental development, but I've done some really stupid things right after a run, like leaving my pregnant wife's scone at the restaurant.  Kim and Andy stepped up, however, and delivered the scone to my house.  Thanks!

I typically don't like the 5k but I enjoyed this race.  Took John Straley's pre-race advice and didn't push too hard on the first uphill mile.  When I turned the corner on the flat, I felt fresh and ready to race.  Pushed it hard all the way to the finish.
