Clyde's Comeback!

Looped around the DC then extended through LV. Quads weren't sore but they just didn't feel good. Kind of tight and useless. Cooler temps again this morning 60 F. But I think summer is gonna stop messing around and start using the brass knuckles. I'd take more of this great weather but it just won't last. 

Really a grind this morning. Started out doing one 2.4 mile loop around the park with our new big dog named "Ears". She was done at about mile 2 and so was I... brought her home and then went over to the river but the trail was blocked while they are repairing the burnt bridge so I looped back through the north end of B-hills and a little extension into LV. Just had to put one foot in front of the other this morning. Robotic, stiff and overall just felt kind of funky. The bright side is that we got another AMAZING morning for mid-June.  57 F when the sun came up!

Guys run here. Did one mile before the guys showed. Regular loop with the Circle of Trust. EZ and slow this morning. Good to get out one some normal runs after 3 weeks of craziness. Got home and took Ears out for another 5k. She was done after about 2 miles so the last one was slow. She had to stop for a potty in the street and then a drink in the gutter later on. 

Over to the river but the bridge was closed again. So back up the river and around Stone Cliff. This run felt like it was 19 miles and not 12.5 but that's how it goes. Did it all out in the sun and was pretty dehydrated when I got home with temp already at 80 F. 

Mik'L is out of town and I wasn't in the mood to push Myler out in the heat. Plus I tore out my driveway today and with the help of Shatch we got half of it poured. Big big day of back breaking work. I'm sure I burned more calories working than I would have out running 20 miles. 

Another day with Mik'L gone and I just didn't want to get up way early and get Myler up to push him in the jogger. So I guess this week is what I wanted originally after Ojai marathon.... a little rest and break from hard mileage. Spent basically the entire day moving the rubble from the old driveway and building a wall with it down in the ditch by my house. I feel like I need a body cast from my toes to my neck.... everything hurts and I'm only half way done!
