Ran 5 miles on the rail trail.  AP: 9:57.  Nice cool morning.  Seeing fewer grasshoppers, which is nice.  This is my "easy week" according to my training schedule.  No speedwork...yeah...I like slow and steady.  I'm like the turtle in the story, 'Turtle and the Hare'.

Nice overcast morning with an occasional drizzle.  Ran around the neighborhood while my niece rode her bike.  My niece is suffering with an ingrown toenail (ouch), so we cut things short so she could get her shoes off.

What a nice cool morning.  It's amazing how much nicer the run is when you are not sweltering in heat and humidity.  My niece joined me on the rail trail again with her bike.  I am looking for a bike now so we can do some long bike rides together.  She is not getting enough speed up to get a good work out because she is going at my running pace.  I have been encouraging her to ride ahead and loop back so she can get more miles and speed.

I'm excited about running with QP in a couple of days.  I will be bringing the pirates treasure I found on my run a couple of weeks ago.
