Ran and walked 15 miles at Barton Creek this morning. New club member Tara Lusher and Linda Rust joined me.

Tara and her husband are training for the Palo Duro 50 mile in Oct and Linda will be running the Burning River 100 mile in Ohio next month.

We took it easy running nearly even splits for a total of 4hrs. Knee still achy. Gonna cook ribs for the very first time today and probably drink a bunch of beers!!

Ran 7 miles at LBL with Steve and Shan this morning. We saw the aftermath of a late 60yr old runner who probably weighed 130lbs getting the best of a 260lb guy on a bike in a collision. It happenned just west of the Pfluger bridge. When I was pulling out of the parking lot under mopac I saw the old runner finishing strong!! Very surreal!!

Walked 4 miles at Barton Creek from the Spyglass entrance this morning. I got up at 430....got to the trail at 515 and didn't feel much like running. So....I did the next best thing. I walked for 1:18. I walked where the kiddie train meets the LBL trail....walked back to the 1.5 marker and then back to the SG entrance.

430 is just too damn early to be getting up!!!

Got up early this morning and got in 6 easy miles at Barton Creek from the HOL. Knee a bit achy but thats okay. Cleared a bunch of spider webs for later runners.

Ran 7 miles at LBL with Mark and Shan this morning. The humidity was a killer. We ran it in 1:09. They would have been much closer to 1hr if not going slow with my big dumb ass.

I got up early and got in a 7 miler at LBL this morning in 1:20. The tendons on the outside back of my knees are still a bit tender from our hike this past weekend so I got in a super easy run/ walk.

Tuesday I joined Gordon and the Tuesday evening running group for a 7 mile run. I felt good the first 50 min or so but lagged a bit the last few miles. Knee felt pretty good during the run but was hurting afterward.

This morning I ran the 7 mile loop at LBL with Shan and Mark. I talked a too much the first few miles and got myself in oxygen debt from which I never recovered. I ended up walking much of the last 2 miles. No biggie. Knee a bit painful but not too bad.

Velocity.......26

Shan and I, or should I say I, had an excellent run this morning. "We" ran the 7 mile in 1:02:30. The reason I'm listing the entire time is because I ran 30 seconds faster than last week. Shan and Steve ran 58 last week!! That time even includes approximately 3 minutes of walking. I still can't believe I didn't do anymore walking than I did. The last 2 miles were PAINFUL!! I was hurting so freakin bad but I made it thru somehow.

Tuesday marked 12yrs of no cigarettes. During that time I've run over 13,000 miles and averaged just over 21 miles per week.

I'm so thankful for every mile I've run, all the time on the beautiful trails and for the good friends I've made along the way!! Truly amazing stuff!!

Ran 5 miles at my Hidden Trails yesterday afternoon in 1hr. Knee hurting.
