I've had such fun this week. Today I just goofed off, walking and running all over, including parts of the town that I had never explored before. This included two quarter-mile (400 m) runs on the old high school track at a 10-minute per mile pace, lots of fast walking, and even more moderate walking. I went about nine miles in about two hours and 20 minutes, an average pace of 15 to16 minutes per mile.
Those two quarter-mile runs are the farthest I've run without walking in months, perhaps years. Today was the perfect day to ramp up a little, overcast with temperatures in the mid-60's. That's enough for a day or two - push too hard and injury will slow me down again. I want to get stronger and faster.

Exploring I followed some trails that I've never seen before, and had a great time. 7.5 miles in 1:46:32, for a pace of 14:12.
Monday, July 25:
Last Friday I felt more than a little sluggish in a 6-mile walk/run. Today was just the opposite - I did 11 miles and felt as good at the end as I did at the start. Warm weather, nearly 80 with high humidity. I carried water and took a couple of Clif Shot gels.
Splits: 6.04 mi + 5.09 = 11.13 mi in 2:38:45, pace 14:12.
