    2 miles on the neighborhood track. 8 laps. I am a little frustrated with my non calibrated tech gadgets not getting the milage right. I refused to re-calibrate, maybe next time. I like trail running much more!

    DID it! 5K run on trail. We almost had it by the time we got to the trail so we went out for more. Now we are looking at 5K races or the kids marathon - (add up all your miles and run the last 1.2 through downtown through massive cheers.) Still considering.
