An OK 3 Miles

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

I really dislike running on US 50 (busy 2 lane hwy), even though it's only a short distance to less busy roads. So this time I drove the van to a nice place where I could pull off and ran from there. I liked that much better. It was much more safe for sure.

Had to shorten my planned 5 miles to 3 miles today. I did it in 30:11 at an avg pace of 9:59. Not too bad since my legs were kind of tired. I noticed yesterday that my right calf is really sore and my left pinky toe is also giving me fits. They are still bothering me today. My feet always have some sore/rubbed spot after my long run (which was Weds) but this one is especially sore. I covered the sore spot today with the tape from a band aid which worked pretty well during the run. Only problem is now that I took it off it's sticking to the toe next to it! lol Oh, well! I can fix that easily enough.

I had some cute, little , yellow butterflies as an escort during one part of my run. They flew with and around me for about 1/4 mile. There was a nice breeze and plenty of sunshine this morning and only a few cars. It was very enjoyable!
