AM: Walked about 4-5 miles. I met up with someone for whom I am dog sitting. She showed me the pup's usual route. Turns out there are some trails through the golf course (which I knew) that are for dog walking. They would be great for cross country practice if I did that sort of running.

Lunch - Trails - 7 miles SLOW. HR 133. Legs are pretty spanked. Not sore, just really really heavy.

+ Stretching and core

PM: 5 miles. HR 134.

Ahhh�walking! A far more civilized endeavor than running in my opinion.

Indeed! I don't do enough of it and I've got the time right now. My easy running lately hasn't been much more than a brisk walk, especially on the trails, but I enjoy it more.

I was jogging this afternoon and was treated to a gent doing multiple back handsprings on his lawn. You miss those sort of of things if you are too focused and zipping by.

I see young girls doing these once in a while when I'm out, but a full grown man?! That's impressive.

He was maybe in his early teens. Young, in any event. Thought he might have been doing break dancing moves when I saw him out of the corner of my eye.
