Weekly Update to May 27
I ran fifteen miles this week, including some speedwork in Brooklyn IA (half-mile repeats: made my hamstrings and calves sore!) and a long run of ten miles in Henderson CO.

Weekly Update to February 26
I ran just over fifteen miles this week. Spring-type weather has helped bump up the miles.
2/20 North Las Vegas NV covered in it/s own post.
2/22, Wichita Falls TX
Cindy and I walk/ran to a trail I found on Google Maps/bicycle. Then I ran a couple of miles while she stretched . Then we ran/walked back to the Flying J truckstop.
2/24 Boise ID
After warming up, I did a little "speed work" (can you use the term "easy speed work"?) by running two miles at 8:45 minutes/mile pace. I did not want to court another overuse injury, so I picked a fairly easy pace. Still, I was breathing through my mouth halfway through the second mile, and struggled a bit to finish. I guess I have a ways to go before I run 26.2 miles at that pace! After warm-down, I had 3.2 miles.
