I managed some decent paced runs Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. But I don’t think that was really best for what I’m trying to accomplish. It’s time to just “Embrace the Slow.”
The city renamed the running trail to the “Specialist Monica Brown Trail” this weekend. She’s a medic who was awarded a Silver Star for heroism in Afghanistan. I’ve changed my shorthand for the trail now to SSTrail (Silver Star). I couldn’t use MBT because I already use MBT for the Mountain Bike Trail.

Wow, that was a great story about Monica. I can't imagine being in that situation. She is a true hero and a great doc.
Thanks for sharing. I also noticed you log some serious weekly mileage, great job! Keep up the great work.
