Greenbelt - 37:23

Hot run in the late afternoon. I am so badly out of shape it's ridiculous. I'm glad I just finished the run and made it back to the car. 7:28/mile average - maybe too fast for my fitness level right now.

Easy weights, core and stretching while watching the Olympics in the evening.

Slow, slow jog at home on the treadmill at 11 pm after watching the Olympics. Maybe my slowest run ever.

Eagle Greenbelt - 46:50

Ran with Trevor, Aaron and Casey this morning. Weather was pretty nice - not too hot yet. It was a tough run for me at 8:00+ pace. Knee was sore, as was the back. Fitness is horrible right now.

BK fields - 25:54

Ran in the Five Fingers. The 600 meter run on sidewalks was rough, but it's great to run on the grass in them. Did some drills and 6 x diagonals on the soccer field.
