I would have gone longer, but the woman next to me smelled so bad that I had to stop!  I applaud her for getting on the treadmill at her age and size, but please wash your body. The stench was absolutely horrific.

My shoes received quite the soaking on a mile stretch of wet trail.  Luck to have a second pair of socks.  I also saw 3 turkeys on the trail!

13.1 miles - 7:17 avg.

I had intended for a longer run, but my left hamstring has felt a bit gimpy for the past couple of days.  Nonetheless, I ran this longish effort too hard.  I don't know why I seem to turn everything into a progressive type run, but I think I need to lose the watch a couple of times a week and just concentrate on form and consistent effort.

2k with my girls

This was Maggie's 3rd Groton 2k and Paige's first 2k.  They both ran awesome and Paige didn't finish too far behind her older sister!

 

Maggie came in strong and shaved about a minute off of her time from last year.  You can see Paige reeling in the boy behind Maggie. 

 

 Paige giving it everything she has...... after the race she told me she had never breathed that hard!

 

 

 5k with my wife..... It was her first!

Amy ran awesome for her first 5k.  She only ran once before the race..... way to go Amy!  She was psyched that she finished her first race and is looking forward to more. 

Here we are happy & closing in on the finish.
