7/6 - Monday: 3 w/Greg. We ran and swam at Kilburn. Glad I got out as I had earlier conceded to getting a zero when I chose to mow the lawn instead of run.
7/7 - Tuesday: 0. During my window to run, we had a lingering thunderstorm. I decided that my legs could use a zero - sore calves.
7/8 - Wednesday: 6. I ran in the evening from the school down Plain Rd to Fox Run. I went in the development to get the right amount of time for a slow six miler. I felt decent despite having just eaten a burger. Interesting digression - when I went to light the grill today I noticed a mouse nest in the grill. I quickly shut it off when I heard some of the nest ignite. The momma mouse hopped up onto the surface of the grill. Hopefully no babies were barbecued. I don't think they were as there were no visible flames. I ended up cooking the burgers inside. I'll have to relocate the nest. I don't mind killing mice, but burning them alive isn't my thing.
I also had the pleasure of running into my former athlete, Evan. This was the second time this summer that I've crossed paths with him on a run. He's been running 5 days a week. His running has become his stress relief from a very busy schedule. He's a chemistry major and is currently working for one of his professors on a new drug that is a promising cure for breast cancer. He has to give a speech in San Diego at a huge chemical convention about the work they've been doing. It made me proud to have gotten to coach him in basketball, cross country, and track and field.
7/9 - Thursday: 4 w/athletes at school in evening. I felt good - ran nice and easy. We had 5 athletes show up tonight.
7/10 and 7/11 - Fri/Sat: 0. Headache on Friday led to a wimpy zero, and trip to Mass on Saturday.
7/12 - Sunday: 7 at Kilburn w/athletes. Nice morning for a run - a little on the humid side.
pm - 1+ running from Sasquatch at Pisgah Reservoir in pm. Great fishing w/Greg.
Weekly total - 21
Loving all the blogs coming back!!
