Finally put in a run after all the lay off last week.  Felt well rested this morning at the start of the run and the first few miles were effortless.  About mile 3 I started to feel my calfs tightening up a bit.  I'm not sure why that happened but as I write this they are still a little tight.  Maybe it is the extra few days off that caused them to tighten, I don't know.  Whatever the case it is not too bad and I feel like it's something I can just stretch out or roll out over the course of the day today.  We will see how it does in the morning.  Weather was nice with the temp at 61 and a breeze out of the north west, as usual.

Time:  8:26/mile

PM - Ran one mile with Cory and Jamie in 10:55 then dropped Jamie off at home and ran one more mile with Cory in about 10:45.  The kids are really starting to get excited about running with the upcoming kids marathon in association with the Las Vegas Marathon.  Over the cours of several weeks they run 25 miles on there own and then run the last 1.2 miles of the Las Vegas marathon course and cross the finish line and receive an official finishers medal.
