Towpath both ways on a chiilly (36F) morning. Tried to push a little, and the hills are definitely harder than they used to be, so i need to redouble my efforts (but build slowly!).

Keyed 5 nomada at school, then nice strolls with family at triangle lake bog and kent bog.

just busy

Event: WPOC - Yellow Creek State Park Night-O
 

Cool day, busy. AM spraying at BNP, then yard work. Late in the day was out east, so snuck in an easy run at Munroe Falls metropark (west edge with the new grasslands). Explored some of the unmapped trails. As has happened often the last few weeks, about 5 minutes in i had tightness in groin and adjacent areas, but went easy and it loosened up. Yesterday and today had tight calves. I think these are signs i am strengthening, but it's embarrassing that these wimpy efforts are prompting it.

Event: 2013 U.S. Individual Championships/Team Trials
 

Yesterday was all walking in DC, and no spare time anyhow. On way back from airport dropped by portage lakes state park and did the clockwise loop. It had rained earlier, but only one spot was soggy. Pleasant run, but realized that most or all of the veg here is weedy. Garlic mustard finishing flower, GH, taraCanopy trees leafing out

At school, but track still off limits for mac meet this weekend. Did 3x 1:25 repeats on the uphill grassy strip at the southern softball field. felt good
