Forgot to charge the Garmin after last Friday (oops) and discovered Wednesday morning that it was more or less dead. Pulled out the old Timex Ironman and ran the regular route, so if it wasn’t exactly 6.3 it was close enough. Just me and John, which meant a nice brisk run, which is fun.

Ben and John were running an 18-miler this weekend, but since I’ve topped out my distance for the season, I offered to run the first 10 miles with them. Let them take the reins in terms of pace (they still had almost half their distance still to go when I was done, after all) and it was a nice, pleasant run on an unseasonably warm day. After I finished up I headed out to tackle errands, and the guys reported a good back 8-miles to close out their training.

Sort of a sluggish run in places, but beautiful weather. Stopped by the car at the halfway point and dropped off a layer of clothes, in fact. Also probably my longest run for the season. With no marathon on the schedule, no reason to go higher.

Ran at the gym today because I was letting Charlie call the shots for his birthday. Originally was going to run 6 miles but it got cut short due to some digestive issues. (Nothing bad, but just couldn’t keep running, alas.)

Nice Saturday morning run with the guys. A little breezy so I had to keep zipping and unzipping the jacket I’d brought along; glad I had it, all in all.
