2 miles walking at 5:10 a.m. with Sharon, Elaine, and our lab, Savannah.

5+ miles running at 6:15 p.m., easy recovery run.  Legs still a bit sore.  Back feeling okay.  Didn't push it.  Standard Skyline route to the gate, out via SR 36 and home via Loma Vista and Upland loops.

4 miles at 5:00 a.m.  Easy running up Skyline a mile and back home, then 1/2 mile down to the track and back after 4 laps.  Legs a bit tired from last night, but encouraged with four consecutive runs this week.
