Just run

So it was supposed to be two miles, but I'm pretty sure whoever measured the distance was about 100 meters short.  No matter.  Time for shortened route is 17:05.88.  Factor in an additional 100 meters and it looks to be like 17:30 or 17:40 somewhere around there.  Now, if I could hold that pace for another mile and some change, I would meet my short term goal.  Just need to enter into a race.

Hill repeats.  Road construction has led to traffic being routed to the hill we normally use.  Had to settle for less of an incline which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you just don't get the same effect.

Only a handful of people out on the trail.  I just love early morning runs.  The roads are so peaceful.  For most of the time, it is just me and the road.  Should've stretched yesterday, but I didn't so my legs were stiff until about halfway.  I would say that I'm getting old except that I've seen the age of some other bloggers who are logging way more miles than I am.  That just means I can do it too.  Good motivation.

51:20.20

Three miles around the track.  I stayed in the outside lane to avoid the faster runners on the inside lane.  Overall, not very many people on the track today so no worries about having to dodge walkers or random people who come out to the track.

Mile 1 10:37.20

Mile 2 10:43.69

Mile 3 10:08.42 (31:29.31)

The boardwalk is open again.  Woke up later than usual but still got out the door.  Time 33:53.30.
