What a beautiful afternoon. I took full advantage of my daughters choir practice since there is a park up the road. Great trails to run on with rolling hills - good workout. Cassie you will need to come to Sugarcreek and run this trails with me, it is exactly what you like!

Ran Sugar Creek Trails again - choose the trails with the river instead of crossing it since it was running pretty brisk with all the rain we got last night. Temps dropped and will again tonight. Oh well, soon enough we can have warmer weather, but then I will want to skip the summer heat. Good day.

Temps were fine, but it was a cold heavy rain today. Did some rescheduling at work for next week, but it still will be a long week- no worries, just will need to be up early each day to get  good run in.

The local running store had a close out sale of last years models so I picked up a new pair of Mizuno's for cheap! That always makes me happy. I guess I should not break in shoes on a 18 miler, but eh, they need it. Had an early meeting, but then Cassie showed me her local bike path to run on. It was pretty nice, followed the river (of course with all the rain, the latter half of the path was closed so we did an out and back). She joined me for the 1st of 3 laps I ran. Let's see... saw a hawk twice withing 5 feet of me just sitting there and chilling out - never even thought about moving as I ran by. I also saw one angry squirrel. Seriously it look mad! I did not take squirrel culture (see 'Emperors New Groove') so I have no idea why it looked so mad. I know it wanted to take me out if I ran towards it. There was a muskrat swimming by the spill well and he was happy enough. Go figure. 

Anyway, decent temps, decided to rain after about 12 miles and then rain steady for the last 4 miles. Legs were pretty tired so kept a slower pace (8:39) until the last few miles where I ran harder.  8:03, 7:45, 8:02, but the 2 8's were on a steady incline with a strong headwind and driving rain, so the effort was there even if the clock says otherwise. Good day!
