Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

Personal:

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

Been running off and on. Not too much though. Spent some time at home for most of Apr.  Did a PT test: 3 miles in 20:53.

Ran with the Rocket around 5 miles. 

And that's it for Apr.  A whopping 8 miles. 

Got some fivefingers while I was at home and I've been running in those since last week.  They make everything hurt.  Even my eyebrows. The longest run so far in them was 3.6 miles   It's not the best environment here for them.  Lots of rocks and gravel. Mostly I just wear them when I run to the pool at lunch.  It's less than a half mile.  Still hurts.  The only thing they've been good for so far is starting conversations.  

I guess I was under exaggerating about April's mileage.  Usually, I do it the right way and go overboard. 

I ran a bit more according to my watch, but I don't check it as often as I used to.

For the 8th, I ran harder than I had become comfortable with.  8:46 pace (maybe I shouldn't have taken so much time off).  91 F; 14% hum; 3.5 mph winds; cloudy

Baby Blues Miles: 3.69

I thought in California they don't have conversations, they just beat you up if you look funny.
