Well after my 3 mile run today, which I did on the track at the YMCA, I am definitely looking forward to our group shop this Saturday. Saturday we are planning on doing our 6 mile run in Lakeville and then Runner's Gate is going to open specially for us and give us a discount. Since I was running at the YMCA today, I used some old tennis that I keep there and I can tell it's time to throw them out. At the end of my run I had sore knees and a wonderful blister on my left foot. So Saturday I will be investing in some new running shoes.
But overall it actually wasn't that bad -- I'm happy with the pace I kept and it really does seem to be getting easier. I'm looking forward to our group run tomorrow at Lake Harriet.

Not too happy at Mile 24, but you can see my honored teammates listed on my arm: Jeff, Doug, and Marty - it was their inspiration that got me to Mile 26.2
