My wife went to the store while the girls and I stayed home.  We were outside for a bit and the girls tried their hands at catching inch worms.  Those buggers are fast :)

While they did this, I ran back and forth on our street...... Maggie & Paige got bored quickly and my run was done.

2.54 mile (walk)

My wife came back from the store and my mother stayed with the girls.

 Stopped at my friend Kris's house and checked out the construction on his kitchen.... then ran the mile back to my house.

1 mile

I'm obviously not a fast runner, and most, if not all of my miles are in the 7 minute and up range.  On the rare occasion that I do dip a nose hair under 6 minute pace, I almost feel like my legs are on the verge of buckling and falling apart..... it's a weird sensation pushing your body to a speed that is very foreign.

6.13 miles - 4:13 am

The highlight of this run was the two coyotes that I spooked in the final mile!  I was running down the road and they were coming from behind a house near the river.  When I first noticed them out of the corner of my eye, I thought young deer, but when I locked in on them, it was two coyotes. I freaked them out, because when they saw me they turned and b-lined for the woods.

Race: Father's Day Fun Fest & 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:18:12, Place overall: 3, Place in age division: 1

What a great day!  I PR'd in the 5k and spent some quality time with my family.  

This race was put on by the Miracle League of Massachusetts at Nara Park in my town.  At its core, the Miracle League of Massachusetts is an all volunteer, non-profit organization that gives children with disabilities a chance to play baseball as part of a team in an organized league at no cost to their family. But it's really so much more...  

This race was an excellent way to kick-start my Father's Day....... Happy Father's Day to all the Dads on the Fast Running Blog.

Barefoot around the perimeter of Rogers Field in Devens, MA.  I didn't feel like I was running that quick at all, but what felt like a 7:30 pace was actually about a minute faster.  It's funny that running shirtless and in the grass.....  made me feel like a kid again.
