Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 40s and some very dark looking clouds

Comments:
Anna and I headed out around 2:45 and took Grafton to Somerset and up back roads to Norwood Park before returning on Wisc and Hesketh and Cedar. I have been awfully tight and stiff since the morning run and didn't do much of anything right to stretch, roll, or refuel, but once we were a mile in, I loosened up a bit. Either way, the easier pace felt like just what I needed, and thinking we might have only gone 2.7 or so, I mapped it and found it was over 3mi. Didn't hit 40 this week as I'd hoped I might, but with some very short days mixed in, I'm still pleased with the second consecutive week of decent mileage and no days off. Looking ahead, I'm hopeful I can add in some true long runs and some fartlek of some kind, but I'm not sure what my schedule will allow, especially if we go back to full day on campus and afternoon "track classes." Still, I have come a long way since the six weeks off and may even be dropping a couple of the 5+ lbs I'd put on during long period of inactivity.
