And so after 9.5 miles this morning, my 75 mile week goal is completed.  I am glad I can say I can do it, but I won't be doing it again for a long long time. :)

Awesome Independence Day run.  I pulled a muscle or something in my groin/upper thigh area though.

Worked my core

Slow jog for 3 miles on tm to see how the leg felt

Elliptical for 30 minutes

4.25 run once around the river trail.  Average pace was 7:33 and the leg didn't hurt.  What a relief!

2 more miles in pm.

5 miles at Gold's then I came home to run the river trail.  I couldn't find my garmin. I have a bad feeling I left it on the bumper of my car yesterday........I know the usual route distance though so I ran it. It's 6.5 miles.

I was out on the trail when the most amazing sunrise came out.  So beautiful.

No music, no garmin, don't know my average pace, don't care.

5 miles on the tm

20 minutes of  elliptical

4.25 miles around the river trail

I ran into my friends Evelyn and Keri who were walking so I walked with them probably another mile but I didn't count that.  It is fun to see people I know on the trail.

I had an awesome run around the river trail this morning. Better pace than I have seen in a long time.  Beautiful overcast cool breeze weather.  I am loving my Pearl Izumi shoes but I can tell they are about out of mileage.  I need to get to Runner's Corner for a new pair asap.
