| 9:00 a.m. trail run with Tina along the Dark Trail in Settlement Canyon. Nice, crisp Fall morning. I think I slowed Tina way down. I'm still not fully recovered from the marathon. We were slower than usual, but pushing 8:03 coming back down the last 2 miles. Tina took a hard fall right after we turned onto the gravel road off the trail. Cut her hand and elbow pretty good. Glad we weren't too far from my truck at that point. I must have jinxed her talking about the 2 falls I had while simply walking down some Argentine streets during our trip. I can run 26.2 without falling, but I can't walk down a slightly irregular and uneven sidewalk without biffing it! | | Comments(2) |

| 7:30 a.m. run before flying out to Arizona. 1 mile with Savannah, our 6 year old chocolate lab. She hasn't run for a long time and was dragging the last 1/4 mile or more. 4 more easy miles after bringing her back home. Cool this morning, but otherwise nice run. | | Add Comment |

| 5:30 p.m. run. 5.5 miles along Skyline and the Canyon Rim to Vine Street and home. Home late last night from Arizona. Pulled a calf muscle about 2 miles in tonight. I couldn't believe it! Plenty warmed up, running slow and easy, although up a moderate hill. Painful the rest of the run. Don't know if I can run tomorrow. | | Add Comment |

| Extremely slow running today at 10:00 a.m. Sore calf would only tolerate the flat or moderate downhills. Up hill was impossible. 9 miles with Gina. She was extremely tired and slow after only 3 or 4 miles, but then she had some surgery just a week ago, so all things considered, she did great. I hope I can get over this calf soon, or will need to take some time off. Resting tomorrow and most of Monday should help. Crappy week. | | Add Comment |
