    Why is it that nine miles on dirt road and trail is soooo much easier, hills and all, than 9 on asphalt? Did nine today and it felt like five.
    I can do five more miles.

    40-minute Midstate Trail run today. Not my best, since I seem to have a bit of a cold (or is it allergies?).

    Ha, ha. I was just thinking the opposite. I just finished 9 ugly miles on single-track. So glad that's over with.

    Went on a 16 km run today, my long run capping the rest week that just finished. It wasn't bad. I ran an unusual route, which kept me distracted.

    Next week I'll be running twice that!!

    I ran 2 miles today- the second time I've made it 2 miles nonstop since I started running (again) 4 weeks ago! I beat my previous 2 mile by 45 seconds too (24:00 even today!).
