Jogged around the avenues at close to 8 min pace. Lots of potheads tonight, I smelled weed three times that I can remember.  Maybe more but my memory isn't great from the contact high. Knee started acting up during the last mile.  Serves me right for being too lazy to drive to Liberty Park.  

I will be doing an easy 10 miles on the woodchips at Liberty Park on Sunday morning at 9 am if anyone wants to join.

I can run with you for an hour or so. Where will you start at 9?

Ok. I will wear a similar more greenish color as seen on my photo.

Your bride's awesome.. Puking at the gym. Sounds like a smart move running on the softer surfaces. Regarding leg strength, the single biggest thing that has helped me are dead lifts. I'm no speed demon yet, but there helping me. I do them really light, every other day, With a lot of reps. The first couple weeks get you pretty sore but now they don't. My recovery time for my legs had plummeted as a result, too. It's just amazing how many different stride related muscles in your legs are worked with them.

Thanks Matt. I will add those into my meager gym routine
