Use It or Lose It Monday!

Had a rough start, feeling some body resistance at 1 and 3 miles in but was able to push through it. Not a PR pace at all but felt I did decent. Cooler temps and a nice cool breeze helped I think.

West coast = the best coast.
I lived on the west coast for three years, back when I was drinking. Popping a cold beer at 10am to watch NFL football was great. Saturdays were challenging - it was rare for me to be up at 9am to watch college football, so I usually tuned in after kickoff, which to my way of thinking meant I had some catching up to do. 😉
