Rolling along!

Well, I just thought I check in with my audience (which I think consists of about 2...well, 3 counting my faithful wife). The weather has been great. Most days this month have had highs ranging from the mid 60's into the low 70's. My running has gotten into a nice groove and I'm now getting about 15 miles per week.

Today's Run...

With today's run of 3.56 miles, I'm now sitting at 31 miles for April!

The internet forcasted clouds and rain today, but again, the Lord had other plans. The Sun popped out this afternoon just enough for me to get this one in. The weather changes quick though, and clouds were moving in after I finished. I did not enjoy this one as much as normal though. With the rain last night and this morning, I had to do a lot of maneuvering to avoid mud and such. When you add the amount of teenagers prowling around at this time in the afternoon, the paths get a little tight.

The Long Run...

This past Saturday morning, I did a little over 7 miles with 3 full laps of the lake. I went out at around 8:30, and though is was only about 50 when I started, the Sun was shining and it warmed up nice.

As I've said before, Titan Park is a joy to run early in the morning. There were several runners out there Saturday, as well as some other folks doing calisthenics (and maybe yoga). On one hill that faces the afternoon Sun, I'm starting to see alot of sunbathers also.

I don't know if there is any truth to that runners high stuff, but I had a good time on this run. The first 6 miles where nice and relaxed even though I kept a pretty good pace. My endurance (or lack thereof) did catch me on the final lap though, and I really had to focus on the way in to keep from slowing down, but I met my goal.

What now?

Well, I hope to get you all some spring pics of the park soon. Although the weather has been good overall, it has been a little bit fickle at times. Everytime I start thinking about breaking out the camera, the clouds seem to roll in.

We also have a trip to Paris coming this weekend. I will have my running stuff, so stay tuned!
