Today was a warm day out in Palmer Park. We started at 7:30 am and it started to get warm quickly. I ran with a hand held water bottle for the first time today. It had a pocket to hold my keys and gave me enough water to sustain me through the whole run. Things were a little slow going today but can tell that my legs are definitely getting stronger. I am trying to mix up trail running and road running for the two different half marathons. I also have a few other races in mind but will keep you posted on those. Shawn and I have some running shirts ordered and will have the BRC logo printed on them. We are going to represent. Still feel like I am going at a slow pace but we did pass four more mature individuals that were out looking at flowers. Not exactly the same as winning my age group but I will take it. The below was probably the pace that they were moving. Matt
