Hit the trails before dinner but not quite before darkness fell - a little sketchy on the footing towards the end, but a good run.

Easy 8 in the neighborhood - just a couple months ago, I never woulda thunk I'd put those words together in a sentence.  Its pretty nice being able to pop out for 8 miles without wondering if I would return...

Planned six miler in the neighborhood before work had to be shortened slightly due to odd center of back pinched nerve kinda thingy - deep breaths would trigger sharp pain - fun.  Can still feel it a bit, but no more pain with deep inhalation - I'll live.  Up until that point it was a nice run - two miles easy, then dropped it to 7:14 and 7:12 for three and four, then eased off again until my back exploded - hmph.

Pretty sure the back issue was just the old body complaining  about trying to run fast in 35 degree weather - thats cold for this old body.

Bit longer and a bit slower than I anticipated this morning.  Left from the house and ran to the Maclay Gardens trailhead, did the Lake Overstreet loop and ran back.  Figured it was about 8, turned out to be 9 - ah well, didnt put me too late into work.  The extra mile and general tiredness also added time to the whole plan - will have to get out the door earlier if I do that run again.

Easy five on the Lake Jackson loop with the doggie.  Steamy mid morning run before more rain comes through.
