5 miles - 38:18

Back from Disney and back to running!  I initially thought that I would hit the treadmill every morning at the resort hotel, but alas.... no running on this vacation.  My family and I did enough walking to combat all the yummy garbage food we consumed inside the parks.

It's supposed to rain today, but it wasn't raining when I started this run :)  Then about a mile in, it started to rain :(  WHATEVER!!!  Anyways, I like this route because about 1.5 miles of it are in the deep woods with lots of  "Roots - Rock - Reggae".  Now I'm back at my desk a sweaty man in a monkey suit....... singing Bob Marley in my head.

 2.1 miles - 14:43 (Ya Mon!)

I didn't think that I was going to get a run in today as my wife had to work early, but my mother ended up stopping by and offered to watch the girls if I wanted to run.  I love it when the running stars align!

I got caught in another downpour during my run........ so I turned my head to the clouds and said "thanks Mother Nature you rule!"

My wife met her friend Amanda at the Arboretum in our town..... the girls & I tagged along.  4 loops on the path & trail to get the blood flowing.

4.11 miles - 33:26 (2 miles on the trail)

Fun run today in my Inov8 trail shoes.  The only problem was the mile on the road to get to the trail head and the mile back home.  I don't have much experience with trail shoes, but the 295's have a really sticky, nobby tire like sole.  Great for trails..... not so much for pavement.

Splits: 7:51, 8:54(trail), 8:51(trail), 7:02, last .11 (7:05)

I came in behind the fire station and ran the main loop trail marked in yellow.  There are so many roots & rocks on this trail..... it's almost not even worth the risk of injury.  I rolled my left ankle 3 times.  Woo Hoo!

5.3 miles - garage treadmill (slow)

Only option was the dreadmill in the garage.... damn I hate that thing.  It doesn't help that the space is a total wreck and you couldn't park a car in either bay if you tried.  Spring cleaning project! 

I shouldn't complain though..... I remember a 3 month stint of no running with an achilles injury.  Those were some low times.

Suprisingly hot and humid today.  It's quite a change from the constant rain and cool temperatures that we've been having these past two weeks.  I like the warmth but not the humidity...... the air is thick.

2 miles - @ home on da roads

Still sticky & hot, but guess what?  More rain on the way...... happy-happy joy-joy!

Out the door at 4am to beat the humidity.  I was feeling pretty good with some minor aches and pains during the beginning of the run, but they always seem to work their way out in the first few miles.
