Club run tonight. Missed a few guys tonight, but a few others showed up to take your place and we didn't miss you at all...

Took it easy the first 4 then Steve wanted to go so James and I followed. Ran down red cliffs past the mall then down river road to the trail at Virgin river. Came back along the trail and then up 2450. Those last 3 or so up the hill at a good 6:30 pace.

Wore the Nimbus again tonight and had no pain at all. I wonder if the pain Tuesday was due to fatigue from the increase in miles on Monday...

Nimbus 10 Blue Miles: 8.00

It was nice meeting you Nate. Maybe next time I'll be able to hang with you guys when you pick up the pace.

Just keep coming out. It wasn't more than a couple of months ago that I was in your shoes (when it comes to running anyway, I'm sure if it came to biking or swimming you would easily smoke most of us...) You are already in good shape just need to build up that base! You coming this Saturday? We are doing a couple of laps around Mustang Pass north of Washington. Each lap is about 12 miles but could be cut down at a number of places to shorter distances. We will start at 6:30...
