Went for a run at work, the first time in the NJ office. Use a course Brian recommended, worked out well.

Had a dinner appointment at 7.00 pm, managed to get a 30 minutes run in between that and work. Was great.

Not sure how long I ran, probably 30 minutes maybe 60, but I definitely went for a run 2 weeks ago on Saturday.

Good run.

Ran with NCRC tonight. Fun group. Did 4 miles on a greenway in Raleigh. Felt good.

Did my favorite course in Umstead for the first time after coming back from vacation. It went well.

45 minutes before the finish it started raining -- pouring with rain. There was no thunder or lightning so it wasn't dangerous, and I really enjoyed it. My shoes got quite heavy after 15 or 20 minutes but there's something great about running in the rain.

So yesterday I was completely wiped out and I skipped the Thursday run with NCRC. The gym on Sunday, 6 miles on Monday, gym again on Wednesday -- it would have been fine normally but just two weeks after the vacation it's a bit much.

Today I felt good again and I went for a strong run. My watch is still MIA but that's okay, I'm just rebuilding endurance. Maybe a long run this weekend.

My previous run was 9 days ago -- wow! Coming back from vacation, getting back in the rhythm etc etc. (In my defense; we did go to the gym twice since coming back). Glad I finally made time, it's a good feeling.

The run itself was tough -- my stomach started hurting after 10 minutes and kept hurting the rest of the hour. But there's something heroic about running like that.

Did the same run as a week ago, around Middenmeer. Feels wonderful. I was tired after 2 days of travel through the country, and a late big dinner last night. Much better now; ready for travel.

Friday evening, just as Ettie & Gerben arrived, I went for a short run around Middenmeer. Mieke had recommended a route and it was quite pretty. Basically the outside streets of the village, plus a short detour through the Briekse bosje and outside the village to enter it again where the bicycle tunnel is.

On tat latter part of the run I used the new dedicated walking path that was created recently.
