Great Saturday run

I ran along the Chisholm Trail in Plano this morning for a little over an hour - great run! The weather was really nice, and there was water running through the creek. My girlfriend Allie met me, so we ran at our respective paces, and then went for coffee at La Madeleine. I ran all the way from 15th to Spring Creek/Custer and then back - I'm guessing it was maybe close to 6 miles?

I have a new addiction - running with books on tape. Todd got me an Ipod Nano for Mother's Day so that I can listen to books, and I am loving it. It is a nice change from searching for music that I eventually get tired of. I don't even listen to popular radio music much anyway. My friend Carla mentioned that she runs with books, and I decided to give it a try. Right now I am "reading" Water for Elephants and thoroughly enjoying it.

Wildflower 5K

I ran a 5K this morning in W Plano. I felt a good run coming on, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. I finished in 32 mins, and I think that's a personal best for me. It was humid and a little windy, but it was a nice day and not too bad...especially in comparison to Springfest! Several fun running friends came as well, and we had a fun morning with coffee afterwards at La Madeleine. This is the last race I have scheduled for now...as far as I can remember.
