No run last night as plans changed to go watch some fireworks with my wifes Grandmother. Had a great time and the fireworks were good too.
Got up early (5:00am) and ran on my usual trail route. Was nice and cool in the mid 60's I think. Decided to run my last mile through the park on the rough asphalt for some sole conditioning as I want to begin running all of my runs in the neighborhood to save me from driving to the trails. My neighbor hood is mostly asphalt. Old rough asphalt I should mention! Had a great 1 mile loop through the park. There are several mulberry trees that overhang the road through the park with berries that had ripened and dropped onto the road. As I stepped on them I could feel them bursting under my feet. They felt cool as I stepped on them and soon I found myself purposely running through the areas of the road which had the most berries. Guess it was the kid in me coming out! After reaching my car I noticed the mulberries had stained the bottoms of my feet a deep dark purple color! Oh well it was fun while it lasted! Anyway had a great run and ran this mornings run a bit quicker to alleviate the tight muscles I sometimes get while running slower paces. Oh and my distance ran this morning was 6.25 miles!
