Didn't go for a run this weekend, still recovering from the crazy heavy run last week. Tonight didn't go very easy but it was wonderful to clear my head. Left knee doesn't hurt anymore (it did after last weekend, under my knee really). Left foot gave a sharp needle pain after 3.2 miles or so, for 1 step. Still not 100%.

35:40 -- 10 minutes/mile

This was a very fun social run, had a really good time. Great group.

The run was good to, a short trail in Umstead. It was warm and muggy.

Not sure about the duration, forgot to start my watch. Not sure about distance either so that's cool :)

After 3 hours and 15 minutes I gave up. Then I had to walk home another 1.5 mile or so. I took the Loblolly trail. That was nice in the shadow (my water was almost over).

Lots of pollen (lots of sneezing). 85 degrees, humid. Had 3 beers the night before.
Pushed myself very hard. 13.2 minutes/mile.

5 thursdays in this April. Nice run, great distraction. One minute slower than last week. Perhaps 8k?

First long run in hot weather this year. It was 91 degrees. Tough! Managed with a lot of longer breaks and drinking a lot of water. Good exercise. Dehydrated after the run. Legs feel good. Still have a small sore 'crack' in my left foot from the dog evasion maneuver two weeks ago. Only felt it maybe 5 times when me foot came down.

Saw a park ranger with his car on the running trail, later he came back followed by two ambulances.

13.9 minutes/mile. Probably slowest ever! But that's a good thing with this weather.

Great run with NCRC, very nice distraction. Not sure about the distance, there was one course for 8km, one for 7. I ran 45 minutes, so I'm pretty sure it's not 8k since that would have been 9 minutes/mile -- very fast for me.

It starts to be very humid.

Just came back from a 3:10 hour training run in Umstead. Beautiful course. Absolutely exhausted. Pushed it hard. Ran up the hill after the final bridge for 4 minutes. Felt like 20. Made it back to the car about 15 minutes before the park closed. Love running.

13 minutes/mile.

Did interval training, the 3rd and 5th mile of my standard run. 3rd mile: 8:25 minutes. 5th mile: 8:45 minutes.

Had to jump off the course to evade a dog that wanted to lovingly give me some attention in the 3rd mile when I was sprinting, hurt my foot a little bit. I'm pretty sure that if this had happened three years ago I would have hurt my foot a whole lot more.

Beautiful trail run. Combined Cox Mountain with Fanny's Ford loop, for a total of 4.75 gorgeous exhausting miles. First time in a very, very long time that I ran on two consecutive days.
