running

Solid 8 miles up and down the hills in North Carolina. Beautiful run on a remote country road. 9:02 average pace.

AM 6 miles up and down the hills here. Great sunrise over the lake. 8:54 average.

PM  5k. This was awesome for so many reasons.  I got to run with a very dear friend. We ran our first race together over 35 years ago. She is an amazing woman. I beat both my 14 year old boys. It was hot and hilly and they just couldn't stay with me. My time wasn't great but considering the heat and hills and 6 miles this morning I am very happy. We couldn't stick around for awards but I think I was the first masters female and my friend won her age group. 

No watch. Just taking it easy today.

Slow again today. Last mile 8:50. The run was worth it because I rescued a box turtle from the middle of the road. Hope I relocated him to the side he wanted.

Legs still flat today. Got the run done but nothing to be excited about. The heat and hills are taking a toll on the legs. The sun, swimming, eating and staying up late isn't helping either. Vacation is hard work.

Legs felt much better today. 8:55 average. Not bad considering the hills.
