My plan was to run on the river trails again. But when I got there, the parking area was filled with cars. Turns out that a mountain bike race was about to start. So, I headed out to Clinton. I knew my run would be harder than I planned, since the Clinton trails are hillier, rockier and muddier. Hence my tracks will show bits of walking.

But in general, I jogged for 60 minutes. I have been building towards this, oh so slowly, since I recovered from my stress fracture back in September. My long runs, before the injury, were 60 minutes. So now I can stop building up time on my feet, and start gradually increasing my speed. And maybe I'll be ready for hill work by winter.

Legs are tired, but not completely wiped out. Just as they should be.

Yeah, what Spike said.

Mike and I decided to enjoy the beautiful day on our bikes. On the bike path, to the Iowa terminus, and back. Helped to have a tailwind for my first ascent of Kasold this year. Nice trip.
