July Run Freedom 4 mile

Fair St Louis has relocated to Forest Park this year because of the construction down by the arch. The Freedom 4 mile run was this morning in the park. It was fantastic weather, the course was nice and flat, it was one of the best runs ever

My time wasn't as good as last year, but I haven't been running anything like as much and my heel is STILL bothering me....

Great start to a Saturday morning though and my July run is done....
