Great Runs

Started off the month of August with two great runs.

First, Sunday morning: cool, breezy with low humidity...twelve miles at 4 and 1 in a large loop from the house up past the courthouse down and around to the library and back home. The last 45 minutes in a bright and warming sunshine. Managed an overall 11 min/mile pace.

Now, Monday morning: again, relatively cool but clear, bright blue skies and sunshine as far as the eye can see. I wanted to go long and slow with my ipod so I opted for the trail around Lunken Airfield. Ten miles today of 4 and 1 at an 11 min/mile pace. So...22 miles to start the month. Not bad. I'll plan on adding to that later this week.
