Warming weather

Put in 20 miles this past week/weekend. That is a lot for me being a newer runner and an old one. :)

It was finally a beautiful weekend (both days) and I was able to get in a solid 7 mile run on Saturday afternoon. My legs felt a little heavy the entire run but once I was done my pace was a 9:19/mm. That is only slightly off the 9:04 average I put up all week. I ran the Kings Grant area again. For any that know the Virginia Beach neighborhoods, you may know Kings Grant is all older very nice brick homes with lots of landscaped yards and trees and trees. It was great to get away from the traffic and listen to nature as I ran.I was disappointed that my Saturday morning was so busy that I was unable to get out to the Virginia is For Lovers 14k at the VB Sportplex. I think every single dailymile local friend was there as well as several runners from my church and other friends. :( I heard it was a blast; music and snacks along the course, and a great after-race party, great swag, and Yuengling.
