Orange Street Loop/First Tee

Though my legs were a bit dead, it was difficult to run as slowly as I wanted to this morning. I ran the Orange Street Loop, with a one minute walk to start each half mile, in 33:05, with splits of 11:05, 10:54 and 11:07. My goal was an 11:15 pace, and I hoped for lively legs. I believe I will put off my long run scheduled for tomorrow until Monday, or perhaps Tuesday (Sunday I play in a golf tournament and believe I will be in Nashville on Monday).

I played the First Tee par-three course somewhat like I did two and a half years ago, right after I hadn't played for seven years. I scored an 11-over 65 for 18 holes with numerous shanks. I ran into Harry King as I was walking off and he talked me into playing the big course with him. I was running out of time, so I played through No. 6, and think I went, from the back tees, double, double, double, triple, bogey, triple. It was embarrassing.
