Training

Did an easy 8 mile run this morning. Marilyn was doing a 16 miler. Marilyn started out from the house and headed south on the Oak Leaf Trail. I met her at the 3 trees and we ran to Grant Park Golf Course (4 miles) and turned around. I finished at the 3 trees and Marilyn continued another 3.5 miles home. A high school cross country meet was taking place in Sheridan Park - lots and lots of runners. Marilyn crossed the route on her way home (between 3 threes and condos). Nice fall day - in the 50's and sunny. The usually crowd on the trail - walkers, runners, and bikers. We saw 5 deer near the 6 mile mark. Met a runner training for the Door County 50 miler - sounds like a great run - we have to look into it for next year - takes place in October.

Half Marathon - Training Run

Did my 13 mile training run this morning.  Nice sunny and cool day - 40's when I started and low 50's when I finished.

Started at South Shore Park, headed south on Oak Leaf Trail, ran past Warnimont Golf Course, and turned around at mile marker 54.  Marilyn road her bicycle and had extra and snacks along.

Knees are stiff tonight.  Just like after the Women's Half Marathon in Bloomington, MN.  Glad to have a day off tomorrow.
