Tried to keep it at a real easy pace today because I could feel last night's run when I started this morning. Did a few loops around Shore Drive, which is the flattest stretch around. I wanted to steer clear of hills (for the most part, I always have to run a few) to recover somewhat. Legs were tired at first but eventually loosened up and I was stretching my legs just a bit by the last half. I did see a nuclear submarine silently coming through the inlet under the early morning sunshine, that's not something you see on a usual morning run. Kind of cool.

Dave,

I was just thinking that is has been about exactly one year since we went on that run upto Spring Hollow, ran into the mommy moose, you took a spill, and started having IT band problems, all in the same day. I was wondering if that IT band ever gives you any trouble?

Good to see you blog again, keep running.
