4 miles in my daughter's hood.  I originally planned on 6 but decided 4 was enough after I was reminded how hilly her neighborhood is (and yesterdays workout).  Hello hamstrings!!!

10 miles on the rail trail.  Got out early so only 3 cars there.  Saw deer on the trail and when I stopped to take photo mosquitos honed in on me ... aaargghh ... run!  Talk about motivation :0

I felt great on the run then at mile 6 my knee started acting up.  Luckily I wore my sleeves today so I could make a makeshift brace.  It worked!!!

At the very end of my run some people from a nearby gym were doing sprints at the end of the trail.  It just happened that a guy lined up with me perfectly and I couldn't resist a little race.  I hope my knee doesn't punish me for it tomorrow, but it sure felt great today!

Ended up with 17 this week.  Seven during the week and 10 today.  Ran on route 6 from Gilbert Run Park to the Library in Charlotte Hall.  Think I'll do it again.  It was nice to have the library as my 1/2 way bathroom/water stop.
