| | Today is our 31st anniversary. We celebrated on Saturday by hiking the Y and going out to dinner. It was over 31 years ago since we did that the last time.
This morning I ran a quick short route: 4.58 miles in 37:27, or 8:10/mile with these splits: 8:29, 8:14, 8:14, 8:03, and 7:39.

| | Very little time today. Jogged up to the track, completed a warm-up mile and then gave the next mile my best effort: 7:00 min flat on a flat surface! Maximum speed was 5:57, so there is potential for doing even better. Last mile was a cool down/get home in time. 5K took 26:39 with the two slow miles included. I have a goal to hit 23 minutes in a race on Monday.

| | Just another run to keep in shape: 5.44 miles in 45:37, or 8:23/mile. Pretty average, but so much better than a 0.

| | Ran 10.08 miles on the Murdock trail in 1:22:23, or 8:10/mile. Pace was pretty constant throughout, but I struggled harder for the same pace at the end.
