5 miles - The hills around my mother-in-law's house
Felt really strong on this run.
Here are some pictures from Sunday's racing
Paige:
Paige is the speed demon touching her neck.
Paige making her move on the outside!
Starting to reel 'em in...... exciting! Nice racing Paige!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maggie in the 2K:
I'm looking down at Maggie and making sure the pace felt right for her.
2162 running smart!
Finishing strong on the track.... Making eye contact with the photographer of course;)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My 5K:
I'm in purple, but the dude in the head-band will not beat me! Ha ha.
Finishing on the track..... not pretty to say the least! 14th place in 19:08.

11 miles - The Streets
I had intended on making this run a little slower, but I was feeling pretty good so.....
7:50, 7:36, 7:25, 7:20, 7:12, 7:12, 7:08, 7:07, 6:56, 6:57, 6:50.
avg. 7:14 - exactly what I would have to run for 26.2 continuous miles to get a 3:10 BQ for my age group (30-39). This would make me happy:) |

My wife wanted me to run a safer route home from work so she suggested some roads that I had never been on before...... thanks baby, I enjoyed all the hills! ;)
Sweating like your mother when I got home. |

The rain stopped just in time for me to squeeze this five miler in @ lunchtime. It then proceeded to rain for the remainder of the day after I made it back inside! My timing is impeccable. |

I had planned on doing my usual fiver, but when I opened my backpack and realized that I left my running shorts at home, I made an emergency trip to Marshalls for some cheap running shorts. $9.99 for a pair of Hinds... just the right price. |

4 miles - @ Maggie's soccer practice
I ate so much garbage at work today that this run was a struggle..... the stomach was all over the place making tons of squish squashing. I enjoyed running around all the fields on the grass though :) |

5.13 @ the track with Amy & the girls.
There is a new track nestled in the sleepy town of Harvard MA with a great playground at one end. The girls raged the playground while Amy did her couch to 5k program and I ran some miles:) Great end to an awesome day! |

7.5 miles - 4:19am
It's hard to get going sometimes this early in the morning. My trustee little handheld (LED) flashlight guided my way. There was some serious road kill on the streets this morning.... something resembling a blown up possum almost tripped me up. Gross!
4 miles - 12:09pm - lunch break
My pace was much faster than the early morning run........ maybe because I could see? |

2 miles @ Maggie's soccer practice - 6:15pm
My body felt off on this go around..... quit after 2 miles.
1 mile @ the same practice - Barefootski
I thought I would give this a go, as my right heel has been bothering me for over a year now. I don't know if it is inflamed Bursa sac in the heel/Bursitis or a heel spur or Plantar Faciitis. Nonetheless, I thought that maybe a little barefoot in the grass might feel good. |

2.16 miles @ the HighSchool Track
We just bought some Merrell Barefoot road gloves for my wife and a running tank. Of course we needed to have a family run at the track. My 8yr old daughter Maggie ran a mile with me in 8:59! I was super impressed :) My 6yr old Paige did the couch to 5k (week two) with my wife.... great job girls!
4.13 miles - in das hood
I needed this last 4 miler to make my second 40 mile week in a row..... baby steps. |

I felt good on this run, but waited to long to get outside. The sun and heat just wouldn't leave me alone. Next time I'll get out earlier.

4.29 miles - lunch break
I've been having some issues with my right foot/heel for a while now. I thought that I would try my racing flats for a jaunt to see if there is any relief.... not so sure yet. I'd like to find out if there is any benefit for more of a heel to toe drop or for less of one. |

I started this run today at 1:00pm. Needless to say, it was hot and I was slow. It felt good to get 12 done nonetheless.
