5K around the neighborhood. Though it is a bit less humid, I still found it hard to get out the door. Went two houses down and came back, then out for the full 5K. 79/82%/E10

Any Turkey Trots tomorrow?
FGCU The Gobbler 5K. Great Turkey Trot! Alico Arena facilities available pre-race. Easy drive and parking. Not too heavy a crowd (319 finishers) like the Cape Coral Hospital Turkey Trot. Fast, easy course around the FGCU campus. 62 degrees/78%/NE9. Made for a good time and good time! Happy Thanksgiving!
5K. 66/25%/NE7. So nice with cool temps and low humidity. Hardly ever see humidity under 30%!
Friday 5K. 73/52%/ENE7. Cooool. Able to do sub-9s, which is about the best I hope for these days.
Christmas 5K. 69/63%/NE10
New Year's Day 5K. Warm start to the year. 78/67%/SE9.
The usual route, but quickest in awhile. 63 degrees. NNW wind of 10 or so. 51% humidity. About the best running weather we get here in SW FL!
Did the Freedom 5K on the Fourth as motivation to run in prep for a September triathlon. Over the Cape Coral Bridge and back. Evening storms the night before brought the temp at race time to 77 degrees, but the 95% humidity at the start, at 7 am, still made for a challenge. I don't know why I expected to best my Turkey Trot time, on a flat course with temps in the fifties, on this humid day on a bridge. Of course, I didn't, and I was humbled by two younger ladies at the line (I did hold off a hard charging 62 year old woman!). I think I'll do this one again!
One 10-minute mile with the pup and a 0.50 mile warm down walk. He’s a 7 year old lab and on an 80-degree, humid day that’s about our max.
Week 1 Day 1 Couch to 5k.
Ran my first 5k in over 5 years on Saturday. Had to sprint the last quarter mile to finish under 30:00. Was pretty sore as it was my third straight day running so yesterday I just did a nice mile at 12 minute pace with my better half.
Very impressive. And inspiring!
Week 1 Day 2 of c2 5k.
Perfect running environment. Ideal weather, no traffic. The city has just put a new walkway down the center of the neutral ground on Napoleon Avenue which was lovely.
Went 2 miles yesterday out at 8:20 and back in at 10:00. Then my wife wanted to a mike so we ran a slow 12:00. Ended up totaling 3.3 in 33 minutes.
Feeling it in my knees and ankles badly today. Went just one mile at 8:40 and hung ‘Em up. Gonna ice the joints and roll the legs tonight in the hopes I’ll be back again tomorrow.

Week1 day 3 Perfect morning for a run. I wish I could have done a10 miler instead of 8 one minute runs.
Great to see folks getting out there!

Couch to 5K is how I started. Great program
Week 2 day 2. A bit warmer today and a bit quieter. My morning half hour has been integral in my not going completely bat **** this last week and a half. I strongly encourage anyone who can at least walk to get outside (alone). Otherwise try to at least sit in the sun for a few minutes everyday. It's certainly worth it for me.
I took off the better part of a week to let my legs rest. Still barely made a mile today. Starting to do leg workouts on top of running in the hopes that it’s just muscular weakness and not joint deterioration. Only time will tell!
Gutted out 2 miles at 10:00 tonight. warmed down with a 1.5 mile walk with the dog. Joints feeling a little better today. Body weight squats and lunges tonight after the run.
