Roger did not join. Forgot  his carry on suitcase at home – or some excuse like that! Oh! The extent to which he will go not to get beat by me in a run 🙂 🙂

4 mile dirt road in cool and cloudy Milton morning…

Went for a five mile run to take the mind off doing all the taxes this afternoon. Not totally successful… so, I will try a cocktail next 🙂

6.2 miles (10km) in 58 min 17 sec at 9:25 min/ mile. Total climb – 71 floors. The cool breezy weather was a big help.

One big advantage of an evening run is that I do not have to wait for twelve hours for my hard earned glass of wine 🙂

This morning I got into the car and a casual glance at the passenger seat revealed that I had not mailed an envelope since Monday. So, changed my running route plans and put in a run to the post office from Starbucks – about two and a half miles each way…

… thereby earning the moniker “Runner” in two different languages simultaneously 🙂

This was probably the only run where I was hoping against hopes that it would NOT rain!!!

That took nearly 2 hours and 20 minutes

As the Chalupa group hit the trail for their 5K run, I went to the nearby tracks to put in some speed runs. Did a few 100 meter sprints with a lot of recovery times in between. The best dash was at 15 seconds (100 m). That was at about 4 min/mile (only for 100 m though). One shot came pretty cool – with both feet clearing the ground by about six inches. However, you can also see the grimace on the face as I was gasping for air with the heartbeat hitting close to 180.
