Excellent run

Tonight was great. It was about 50 degrees, near dusk, and I took off around the bike path around the school and home -- then up Linden Drive to the Hy-Vee road and back. I ran about 45 minutes -- steady for the first half, then a 7:58 mile (mostly uphill) headed up Linden Drive, then I eased back down the hill. About 5 miles. I was inspired partly by the state cross country meet on Saturday, where Jake ran his guts out and got 11th in class 2A.

Friday night, I got home and ran 32 minutes through a terrible wind. Some nights, like tonight, I feel 35 or 40. Some nights, like Friday night, I feel 50.

Miles on new shoes -- 263
