Back outside for a test drive with the incredible crew. Met Scott,  Dan, Mike, and Reed for a run up the canyon. Warmed up with a slow grass loop. I felt awkward and a bit gun shy at the start so i finally threw a half mile pickup in around the 2 mile mark. I instantly felt better for the rest of the run. Cooled down with some more easy grass loops. I was so happy to see the guys and run with them today. Very thankful for them. Also tried out the Virrata, a zero drop Saucony trainer. It's light and awesome and could be the Boston shoe.

I'm going to be ok. The body is ready. Fun! 7:20

Great news Brandon. The reason you were able to run had nothing to do with all that voodoo cross training: it was that 'cheeky little' 4 miler you dropped out yesterday.

It looks like we're coming back at the same time, only you are lighter and stronger and I'm fatter and weaker - but that'll change:)

I'm happy you saw that Bam. I ran it virtually with you :)
