Scriver Creek - 44:42

Longest run in time and distance since last August. Felt out of shape, but I wasn't feeling any pain or lack of coordination due to the injuries. Great evening out on Scriver Creek - took the left fork and made it a bit farther once I got back on top. Need to do the whole loop again sometime.

Canal banks - 27:31

Pretty decent run on the canals. Windy and warm, but it will soon be much hotter. Being heavy and out of shape makes the heat seem way worse. Overall pace of 7:52/mile.

Run to US Bank and back - 30:21

Great run at 10:30 p.m. Wore a lighter pair of shoes (Asics DS Trainers) and felt great. Did 5 x 20 second pickups in the middle/late part of the run. Felt much better than yesterday.

Canal Banks + neighborhoods - 42:40

Late evening jog on the canals. Kept the pace slow and covered 5 miles at an 8:32/mile pace. Longest run since last August, and felt fine doing it. Seem to be mostly over my sickness.
