Wandered out to Penwood to see how I would hold up over the 6 1/2-mile loop around the park.  The warmth and humidity have returned, and the deer flies are just beginning to appear.  Despite these negatives, I had a decent run.  I was able to drop my prior best time from April of this year (1:34:00) to a respectable 1:28:00 today.

I am still having some lingering aches in my legs, I am a little over half-way into my lyme medications.  Not uncomfortable enough to not try running, but it will be something when all symptoms leave me.

On this day in 2012, Wuzzam and I completed a Metacomet Marathon, with a time of 7:00:00.  Tippi ran the first section with us, from Route 20 to Phelps Road, and back (about 10.5-miles).  Weather report was that heating up was very possible - so the Donnalee grabbed Tippi early.  This was my 46th marathon completed.
