Another nice run on grass trails in the park today, 6.3 miles in 1:05:53, for a pace of 10:27.  Actually a little faster than Sunday with Jim, but I felt a little more rested today and didn’t run quite as far.  It was HOT though - only 75 degrees on the thermometer, but it seemed a lot hotter when the sun shone, which was about half the time.  Humid, too, I was sweating.  I ran most of the time, but walked up a lot of the many short hills and even walked a little on the flat.
Wildflowers are in full bloom, it’s a beautiful time to run in a park.   The route even included a short piece of my favorite dirt road along the railroad tracks.  Enjoyable run, total of 23 miles this week.  I need to ramp that up a bit, but maybe not next week.  Might do a long race at the end of next week.  We’ll see.
Big salad:  Jim's organic lettuces, organic strawberries, organic grapes, olives, coconut, organic red-wine vinegar.

6.3 miles is good, I ran 7.2 miles today (there was a significant hill) with a Boot Camp Instructor (she let me take the lead but put me away on the hill) in 1:09, we're still out there movin'!
