Cool, breezy run in the park. Today we just wanted to stretch our muscles a bit, so they wouldn't forget how to run. I went one loop on the paved trails, including the "Klondike bulge," for 2.51 miles in total. Time 27:00, pace 10:45. Plenty of energy.
Whining: Ligaments at the top front of my left thigh complained a little - maybe they were hip flexor ligaments, maybe adductors, I can’t always tell. But they settled down.

Sunday afternoon in the park, a sunny and lovely 55 degrees, shirt-sleeve running. I wish it were always so perfect. First I ran a few tenths of a mile in the park for a Channel 9 news crew, who are doing a story on me and myeloma and 50 states tonight. Then I went home and got the girls and we all ran in the park. I did 3.53 miles in 37:30 for a pace of 10:37, using a run/walk of 30/20. No problems, lots of energy.

St Croix Valley Runners. We still meet at 7:00 am at Brown's Creek Park on Neal in Stillwater. This morning I picked up Jim and we had a nice chat in the car each way. I ran with Dave and Candy, at a pace that was probably about 10 minutes/mile, for about five miles, though I didn't time it. I didn't walk much. I like to run an 8k or a 10k fairly hard about a week before an upcoming marathon, and I guess this was that run.
Nice cool run at daybreak, nothing hurts. On the contrary I felt strong, especially toward the end.

Five Miles, With Photos. This is the time of year that Minnesota is so beautiful, with every kind of tree trying to outdo the color of the others.
I ran five miles at a fairly easy pace, run/walk ratio of 25/20. No pains, no problems. I'm ready for another marathon a week from now. I probably won't do a run much longer than this during the next week. No pains.
5.02 miles in 57:31, pace 11:27.

Walked the grass trails with my sweeties, 3 miles.

2.5 miles in 28:07, pace 11:12.
First real run after the marathon. I ran 7.9 miles in 1:28:48, for a pace of 11:17 overall. That’ll do for today!
Loops: 40:13, 3.53 mi, pace 11:24; 23:37, 2.17 mi, pace 10:53; 24:59, 2.17 mi, pace 11:31; total 1:28:48
Wednesday, October 2:
Short recovery run at the Woodbury YMCA. We brought an 8-year-old to the indoor track, and he was ready to leave in about five minutes, so this run was a bit shorter than planned. About 2.5 miles in maybe 30 minutes or so.
