9 miles | 3 .5 miles

Easy 9 this morning. Legs were a little tired to start but felt better as I got going. I kept the pace a little slower this morning (8:10) and average HR was 148. I added a few 200 meter inclines in the last mile which got the HR up to high 160's.

Easy 3.5 miles this afternoon with the kids in the stroller. We did a little tour of the parks in the neighborhood which meant there were a few breaks during the run.

"Parks"? As in plural? Sounds like you live in a nice spot. Save for one patch of grass behind a locked elementary school we have to drive 5 miles to the nearest green park. Good to see you enjoying yourself.

Yes, we are very lucky. The river is right across the road from our house... after the flood in 1997, the levy was moved out away from the river a few hundred yards to give the water plenty of room when it inevitably spills over the banks every spring. In doing this, they created a large greenway that they have sprinkled with parks, campgrounds and fishing areas. There are miles of bike paths right out our front door (unfortunately they are all paved). Anyway, we have quite a selection of outdoor entertainment spots in the summer. I guess it makes up for the bad weather we have to put up with in the winter.
