Pond Road 10 Miler 6-30-12
Before I went for my run this morning I looked at the thermometer outside the dining room (on the shady side of the house) and it was already 85 degrees out with bright sunshine. Usually on Saturdays, I try to do the River Road Loop, but there is no shade along that route and I …

I purposely am trying to keep all but 2 runs a week in the 9:00 to 10:00 minute pace per mile range for a while and really start to focus on my form again. Over the past couple of weeks I found that I was trying to run too fast, too often and that my …
