Great run with Mrinalda, Seemitadi, Sharmila in the cool morning hours…

5.5 miles at 9:02 min/mile pace.

Should have finished my run in the morning. Instead started at 1:30 and the direct sun took its toll. It was not very hot and in fact there was a light breeze but the direct sun for 50 minutes was a bit too much today. Called it quits after 5.2 miles…

… 100 miles get completed for the eighth month this year. Two days of rest now.

Desperately hoping that Ram does not notice the obvious dissonance in the run today – the shirt and shoe colors did not match 🙂

Original idea was to put in a slow recovery run today. Met an old colleague and runner friend – Dan and had a great time catching up with him.

That slow run needed to be a fast one if I were to also have coffee with the other running group – Chalupa.

Landed up stretching myself to a 8:40 pace for 5 miles. I might need to do some more stretching today and stay off the trail for a day or two. The scar tissue in left quad is showing sign of acting up.

It was a good run though – feeling the light breeze in your face in cooler temps.

Ran into quite a few running buddies in the trail – some twice (Greg and Indrani) and some even thrice (Lia)!!

I was more green than the forest was…
