One Last Run for May

I felt that I could get one more good run in, to at least get to 3/4 of my goal for the month.  It was thundering out there, the temperature dropped to a nice pleasant something.  I started out with an old loop around the neighborhood, then up to Samford and back.

Five Fingers with Veronica

My daughter, recently turned 8, has been trying to get out on a run for a few days. She got some Five-Fingers for her birthday, and I got some as well. I've been wanting to try them on a short run, so we went around the neighborhood. The shoes don't feel that weird just yet; they feel quite good, actually. Veronica started out running quite fast and got about 50 feet ahead of me. I tried to rein her in, telling her she'd get tired if she kept up that pace, but she is pressed on and had to walk before too long. At the end, she walked the last bit home, after jogging about 100 m with me.

Not quite as long

I had a heavier dinner than I should have, and was feeling rather lethargic starting out. Truth be told, I felt unmotivated and was close to bagging on the run tonight. The weather is supposed to turn ugly here soon, so I figured I'd go anyway. It didn't take long to get into the spirit of the thing, although I didn't feel up to crossing the Interstate, so I just went on a couple of loops around the neighborhood.
