May 20,  Sunday

Early bike, late run

This Sunday morning was surprisingly mild. The temperatures would eventually rise to 83 or 4 degrees by mid-afternoon. I began the day with a six and a half mile bike ride around the Jackson roads wearing only a short sleeve t-shirt and a pair of running shorts. It felt like summer.  44:12

Arlene and I decided to head to Holmdel Park for a picnic and a  pleasant walk.  Upon returning home I still felt somewhat energized. Noticing the shaded roadway on Pittinger Pond Road as I drove home, I decided to try another shaded 4 mile run. It started out a little sketchy and I was not sure if I would be able to complete the full 4 miles. But as I went along things got better, and as it turned out I did complete the run.  Each mile improved by one minute along the way.  14,13,12,11 for a total of 50:44

I will know they toll  this double day took on my body tomorrow and probably even more so on Tuesday.  But it did bring back some of that ‘Monsta’ feeling!  I feel like I need a race.
