32:12!

This is not my fastest time running the 3-mile course (actually it's my third-fastest) but it is the best I've done since July 6th and I am excited to feel less sluggish and more speedy.

The schedule is changing, though, so this is the last three miles I'll run for a while. For the rest of August and all of September, Tuesdays and Thursdays will be 4 miles and then go up to 5 miles. Wednesdays miles continue to go up gradually every two weeks. So this week will be 7 miles, but the next two Wednesdays will be 8 miles, then 9, etc. The longest mileage week will be the week of September 25th when we'll run 5 miles on Tuesday, 10 miles on Wednesday, 5 miles on Thursday and 20 miles on Saturday. That should be exciting.

There was a chill in the air this morning (56 degrees) and I noticed a lot of birds flying south. I wish I could tell you what kind of birds they were but they were high up. The best I can say is that there were a lot of them, they were decent-size birds, they seemed to be all the same kind and I don't think they were Canada Geese.
