Got all my grading done for the semester. Now on to my other work and try to figure out what I am going to do for employment next fall.

Forbidden Drive (NW) 10 miles, averaged 7:34

Since I turned my pace and time off on my watch I think I have set a PR for consistency on these runs the last few weeks. It's pretty much the same route, but it's weird. Lots of 7:34s or 7:36s

Creshiem Valley Trail to Wissahickon Valley Trails - 9 miles, averaged 9:31

First run post-marathon before 2:00. Got out around 11 and played on the trails as Megan had an online meeting. In a few places I would say this wasn't quite trail running. I ski-stopped down a loose-soiled ravine, using some thin, folded over trees for help. I also did some light rock climbing. I was pretty beat climbing back up the T-Rex's back (it's a street called Rex, which is part of an old carriage trail system. It's quite steep. Some days it is like climbing up the back of a T-Rex). I would estimate that this effort was equivalent to 13 or 14 miles on the road.

First run all month with sun . . . better than snow and super cold I guess.

Neighborhood loop - 5.5 miles, averaged 7:33

Felt a few slight "tugs" in the left hip flexor region. Felt more like a cramp and it feels fine now.

Trail race in the morning. Not sure I will exactly be racing it, but we will see how I feel. I signed up more to mingle with some local runners than anything.
