I have turned into a weather wimp due to this cold and wet spring we've had. I ran at Noon, it was sunny, temps 62-65F, 65% humidity, and I was drenched with sweat at the end. Legs still sore from Saturday's 5K, which is insane to me. Just another testament of how out of shape I am as I don't recall ever being sore after a 5K. 30 pushups, 60 second plank.

4 miles this morning from home. After running in town for a long while and not at home, it's now apparent how tough my 4 miles from home is.

AP: 8:49, harder than I expected. Ran my standard 4 mile loop from the Y this morning. Cool temps, cold hands on the out. I warmed up with a slow mile 1, then as my legs warmed up I naturally went faster, and then forced myself to maintain a faster speed. Averaged just over an 8 minute pace for miles 2-3. Legs weren't feeling it for mile 4 so I walked for a bit to slow my brain down, then jogged it in. Felt good, but definitely needing more running to up my fitness level. Just keep running, just keep running.....

6 hiking miles with a church youth group, including a couple running miles down the trail. A significant climb to a gorgeous lake, Mystic Lake. Beautiful setting in a high alpine valley. Ran quite a bit downhill as I was trying to catch up with my son. That was fun, and I was sore the next day, which I love. Means I'm alive.
