Roegner Park. No rain! It was just slightly cloudy and some sprinkles before I ran. Ran at about 9:15 a.m. No work today so was able to do my long run mid morning. Saw some disc golfers, walkers, and a sad situation. The sad situation was a black lab laying in the road and a lady holding and stroking his head. Then I saw a couple police cars over there. I think the dog got hit by a car; the owner looked so sad....Running wise: I had a pretty good run but was thinking the 8 miles would fly by so quick but not fast enough. Ran the regular out and back loop twice without the extra stretch past parking area. Then I tried something new and ran the last mile or less up the hill going up to lakeland hills. ouch! That was brutal but I did it slow without stopping. I got a little past mill pond loop and then turned around then when down a new path behind the tennis courts. No knee pain. well slight on my R knee front but not worriesome.
