5+ local miles - Tue. Aug. 29

Home quite late but in need of a stretch; headed out into dark and damp (no rain, fortunately) for something like a 5 miler or even a 10K. Past S&S and VFW to 202, up to Allen then right, heading up the hill and along to Enfield; right again down to cross 9 and uphill again to the common, then right and down the hill past CVS to stop just past S&S. Walk and jog home, stopping to look at glowworms (even picked one up and took it home in my mesh vest to show R).

Time: 41:34
Speed: 8.4 mph
Distance: 5.85 miles

Comment: still pretty sore after Sat. (tag sale, mid-upper back) and Sun. (long run, thighs), but felt pretty good for a bit after about three miles. Ran hard for the most downhill mile (6:45 or so), but then really felt it. Looking forward to doing similar distance in sunshine on Thu. (thus wearing my newer shoes, and no jacket) and then going for 10 on Sat. -- thus getting a 30+ mile week. Woot/arg!
