The best thing that happened this month had nothing to do with running, it had to do with going to visit Minnesota to visit my daughter, her husband and my grandkids. They definitely are boys, climbing and running every where they can.

Today’s run was planned to be a 5.0 mile recovery run, between 45:00 and 50:00 minutes.

Major Milestone Run–7/27/12
Today was a pretty important run for me. The run itself was a 10 mile run. The temps were in the mid to upper 80’s and the humidity did affect me a little, but not nearly as bad as it has been. Since it was still pretty hot, so I just ran at a comfortable …
