Met the gang this morning for a chilly run at highbanks. It was 22F “realfeel” according to accuweather.com. Yuck! Decided to give my trail running shoes a workout – they seem stiff to put on, but felt good once I was out there. They gripped well, I felt strong on the hills. I did one easy loop with Meredith, and Andy, Jen, Darryl, Bob and Rich were all behind us. My left quad was a bit sore, and the inside of my right knee tingled a bit, but I actually felt really good. I probably could have done a bit more (Meredith, Bob and Darryl did 9) but decided to take it easy. I picked it up at the end and felt just fine. We all went for coffee and bagels afterwards, which was really nice. We chatted about books and such, it’s neat to have a good group of friends like that.

Off to the gym tomorrow, and I may be tempted to put in a few more easy miles, even just to bring me up to 10 for the week (I’m at a bit under 7). Definitely want to take it easy, but I was actually surprised at how ok I felt today.
