AM   10.25 miles on a cool but amazing morning for a run, I had alot of fun on this run this morning as i ran two loops of the Greenbelt and Freeman Park.  1 mile w/u - 6.75 miles at low Z2 - 1.50 miles at goal MP - 1 mile c/d.

I was coming out of Freeman Park on the second loop and saw four guys running 1/3 of a mile ahead of me and knowing they were in the late 20's early 30's it gave me some fun to try and catch them. So I went into goal MP and passed the just as we got to John's Hole Bridge. I know they didn't like seeing the OLD GUY passing them, they didn't even say hi back to me  (yes Jeff rude runners HaHa) Well I maybe didn't have to do that but it was fun.

The niice thing about it was that the HR only went to the mid Z2 and I felt great.   Just finished up my run and my wife Mauri was just getting there for her run.

I LOVE RUNNING!!!!!!! 

PM   Greenbelt run 5 easy miles at Z1   Hot this afternoon!
