SERENITY NOW! Insanity Later!

Have you ever gone for a swim while running? Check.

Have you ever been stranded by rushing water?  Check

Exhilerating run this morning.  The parkway has never been so alive.  Started in the coolness of the evening rain and as I continued, the rain returned.  I soon found myself in a downpour.  I decided to just enjoy the rain and enjoy the run - completely soaked.  Due to time and inclement weather, the run had to be truncated. 

On the return route, I noticed the water roaring off the dirt hills North of the parkway on the North side of the freeway.  Wondering where all that water was going to end up soon came to an end as debris and a wall of water was blocking my pathway to safety.  I thought that I was going to have to brave the waters but a nice gentleman in a truck offered to carry me to safety.  I hitched a ride - and gained some great time on that stretch of the run :)  All in all, I got wet.     (Kinvara 2 Black:  91)

ps  There was a shirtless sighting.......

Truncated workout out and back to the firestation due to lack of time and lack of sleep last night and not getting up early enough blah blah blah..........something is better than nothing.  (Motion III:29.5)

Same course as last Saturday. I drove down into Little Valley, parked the truck, then proceeded to run home. I figured if my truck was left then I'd have to go and get it. It measured out 10.5 to my house and I actually felt pretty good, foot and all. When I got home, I refueled and headed back. This was a little better since there was more downhill; however, the longer miles do reek havoc on my foot. I will say that wearing the Hokas have softened the blow and the foot isn't falling off. The pain is a bit more manageable. The 2nd half of the run was a bit slower but glad I had my drinks stashed along the way. The only problem was that I froze them thinking they would thaw by the time I got to them and it worked but just not as much as I had hoped. I ended up with sips and not guzzles - was probably for the better of my stomach too. I guess it all worked out. (Stinson: 47.5)
