Nice to be feeling better again.  After Getting strep throat in Tuscon right before the marathon, moving the week after that then coming down with strep throat again the following week - it's nice to be back to "normal". I think I only got in 4 runs this month so far. So anyways....

I had a great run today - 9.25 miles out in the fields toward the beaver dam rd.  I'm excited about exploring all these new roads around our new house.

Ran the Sunbrook Loop with the club at 5pm.  Mike, Allen, Ruth, Hyden and Myself.  Took off pretty good clip down to the golf course low to mid 6's.  Then up the Sunbrook Course Hill - Which never seems to stop.  Got a little wet going over the Santa Clara River, then back to the store.  Hyden and I picked it up going back up Sunset dropped it down into the mid 5's - However I couldn't hold on to him all the way up the hill.

Great Run!

Great run this morning - a little cold.  Mike, Allen, Bill and Myself showed and a couple that decided they didn't want to run 14 miles.  We ended up doing the Bloomington Loop from the store - nice drop in the beginning of the run and a good climb at the end on the way back.

Felt pretty good.  I was still feeling some of the aftermath from Thurs. run and pushing it with Hyaden towards the end.  So I'm glad we just took it easy and steady. Bill had to turn back - he hadn't run very much this week due to injury issues. Mike and Allen did really well and continue to improve.
