cooler weather

Me and Shan had a good run this morning although it sure didn't feel that way.  We were 50 seconds faster than the last time we ran it.  We did an easy 2 with Ellie first and then the 5 mile course that takes us by Sam's house.  We are definitely are looking forward to some cooler weather.

200

One mile doggie walk and 200 jumping jacks this morning!

shit happens

A little bummed our run went to shit this morning.  At 5:59 Mark and Justin hadn't showed yet.  I checked my phone and Justin had texted he'd be 10 minutes late.  Sam had to head on because he had to be to work on time.  I waited for Justin and then we did a super lazy 3 mile loop that included some walking.  When I got to work and fired up my computer Mark had emailed at 8:30 last night on a thread we have going to say he wouldn't be able to run.  Oh well, shit happens....

start the week

Me and Misty did 4 miles in the hood this morning, 2 with Ellie!!  What a great way to start the week!!  We did a a couple of speed ups.  I'm really trying to stay focused quicker leg turnover instead of the longer steps.  It seems to be helping my hip.

Townlake

1 mile in the hood with Ellie and then me and Misty did 6 miles at Townlake this morning.  We encountered Linda Rust and we stopped and chatted for a few minutes.  She's training for her "last" 100, the Yeti 100 somewhere in Virginia!!

shorter steps

2 fast walking miles with Ellie this morning.  I averaged 17 minutes per mile with poop pickup and several pee stops!!  What's significant is that I've been focusing on using shorter steps in all my walking so that means my turnover rate is improving.  Sam and I experimented with it running Tuesday morning and we both think our hip issues felt better post run.

Ellie

Didn't sleep too well last night so I bailed on the Thursday run.  I slept in a bit and still did a 2 mile walk with Ellie!
