Easy run.  AP 10:36.  Nice to sleep in and start when I want (Spring Break!).

Watch was not co-operating.  Finally found the satellites during the last 2 miles.  AP: 9:46.  I was on the rail trail and these little black bugs were flying all over.  I would have to swat as I was running because they would just float in the air in front of me.  Had a few bounce off my forehead and glasses.  When I finished my run, I looked down and my blue shirt looked polka-dotted because the little black bugs were all over me.  Thank goodness they were harmless and I was able to simply pick them off.  One of them made it all the way home with me and ended up being a kitty toy for my cat :)

Meeting a friend this afternoon for some racquet ball.  Never have played before...wish me luck!

Played 18 holes of golf today.  First time ever playing.  Exercise was great but I didn't hit that great :)

My body was still tired from golfing yesterday.  I struggled the first couple of miles then decided I needed to switch up my game plan.  Instead of going slow and steady I would do spurts of speed (8:30-8:50 pace), then walk to recover.  I didn't stop my watch during the walking time and I still ended up with a 10:20 AP.  My original plan was 13 miles today but I'm happy with plan B.  Tomorrow I signed up for hike in the mountains (12 miles or so).  I will meet the hiking club in downtown DC and we take a bus to the Apalachian Trail.  I haven't hiked with this club in years so I am real excited.
