Started to run, but then decided I really had a lot of yard work to finish before all the company comes this week for my daughter's graduation -- I'll call it 6 hours of cross-training.

Decided to meet Darin before work. Even though it was only 75 degrees, it was still humid. Managed a good 6 miles. Starting to rethink UVM -- I haven't run long in several weeks. Not sure running a marathon will be wise...I'm sure the weather will be much better. I'll give it a lot of thought. It might be just a long, easy training run. (either way we're planning to be in Utah for that weekend)

So much to do this week. My youngest is graduating Kindergarten, and my oldest is graduating high school! Family coming to down this weekend. It'll be fun!

Ran before work with Jo, Darin, and Dave. Was fun to run in a group of 4 again. 73F, 50% humidity, no wind. Not too bad.

Locked my keys in my car. Had to work the morning in my running clothes -- until my wife could bring my keys at lunchtime. A little embarassing. :)

Went to the trail early. Needed to get in a long run. Ran 10 miles (I decided to do 1 mile out and 1 mile back loops so I wouldn't need to carry water...worked nicely, but kept seeing the same people walking over and over). Decided to try my VFFs for the first time since before Boston. They always feel good on this trail.

75-80F, 50% humidity, no wind.

UVM is definitely going to be a long training run for me. I have not made the time to get in the training miles!

Graduation day for Megan!! I'm so proud of my daughter. She did a great job with her valedictorian speech. Lots of family in town, and lots of work to do -- not much time for running. Going to try to get in a long run early Monday morning.
