Big props out to all doing races this weekend..... my best running bud's got Gran Fondo Frederick County and I'll be swinging chickens that all 62 miles go fantastic for him!

Saturday - too tired to get up for trail run and massive diarreha, delayed my run so ended up doing solo 10 mi on the roads. Not pretty but got it done...

Sunday ; marathon group of 16mi, added on 2 mi beforehand

Saturday was a much needed rest day for me.  

Today I ran outside for the first time ever!  I did the first day of couch to 5k and went 2.21 miles in 46:13 minutes.  It was significantly more challenging than my normal treadmill running, but I hope I get the hang of it after a few more tries.  I want to be road-ready for my 5k in October!  Then I did 55 minutes of post-run yoga.

The view was definitely lovely.  The fresh air was as well!  Although I imagine that won't be so nice when allergy season rolls around ;)

Rode the bike and walked.  My wife and I grabbed  the 2 neighbor dogs and went for a walk.  They are getting old (who isn't).  We did 1 block by ourselves and 1 with the dogs.  I do my 5-15 miles on the bicycle each day...Some days more, some days less.  It keeps me below 200 pounds (197 today)...Penance for my eating choices...
