Easy 10 miles - out and back to Tipton Lakes.  BEAutiful weather out today - took the top down in the last 4 miles.  HAD TO make a pit stop back in the trees shortly after turning around at mile 5 for a No. 2.  Really saving on TP!  A bit on the fatigued side from mile 8 on, gotta be from this weekend, andthe biggest mileage week in a while.  The Saucony Iso 2's are getting pretty loose and beat up... not even 400 miles.  Kept it slow and easy in the grass as much as possible, and stayed away from all the people out enjoying the weather like me.   

Easy 4 miles around the neighborhood in the evening - 35 minutes mostly in grass. 

Ran this easy 4 miler in the Hoka Clifton 5's with the shoe ripping apart from the sole on the inner part of both shoes.  The shoes have enough mileage on them to not be a tota loss, but, its pretty annoying taht this line of Hoka's fails in this spot on every pair and version of Clifton I have ever had.  I have nearly run the sole off of the One One Infinite's (accurately marketed/named), and took a pair of Arahi's well over 1000 miles also.  Gotta a pair of Arahi 4's coming in the mail right now - excited about getting some cushion and support back on my feet :). 

Then a brief bike lesson with the soon to be 7-year old.  He's getting there - I can let go of him for about 2-3 seconds.  Then we totally caved and ordered some Dominos pizza.  We drove across town and I masked-up and went in and carried out.  Dominos is doing it right - plastic guard shields installed at register interface, and all employees wearing maskes and gloves.
