I'm back on the grass trails after more than two inches of rain two days ago. They are mostly dry, with only a few spots so wet that I had to creep along the edges. After taking a day off to rest a back pain, I felt very strong and increased my pace a little compared with other recent runs on this same trail, doing a run/walk ratio of 3 to 2, sometimes faster than that.

I finished the 5.16 mile run in 59:02, a minute faster than Monday, and for a pace of 11:26. If I had run continuously I might have done better yet, but I'm building up to that slowly. I did three miles recently, so four miles next, maybe later this week. I'm also trying to lose at least ten pounds, which I currently wear around my waist, and that will help. I started at 164 lb after the recent Fargo Marathon, down to 161.8 today.
Whining: Slight mumbling from the PFS in the right knee. No problem from the back pain.
