Monday I was feeling crappy. My knee hurt and I wasn't even thinking about a run.
Tuesday was even worse. My neck cramped up and I couldn't turn my head all day. It was horrible.
Today, I wasn't having any of that. I didn't care if my legs fell off, I was going to run. And run I did. David and I met up and we ran the first 19 miles of the Bear 100 course (Logan Dry Canyon to Leatham Hollow). I had signed up to mark it for the big race Friday and today was the day I decided to do it. I took the day off of work too to enjoy the morning running and spend the rest of the day at home with the family. Doing projects of course, but home nonetheless.
The run took forever since we had to stop every 1/8 of a mile or so and put up another ribbon and when we got to any junction mark it up so no one would get lost. I would be shocked to see anyone lose their way in the first 19 miles. Not on my watch!
Sport Tracks says that we were stopped for 57 mins. I started the watch at the start and didn't stop it for any of our 200 breaks. We both took it easy because we are both nursing little injuries from previous races. Don't want to jeopardize my pacing duties at the bear. I hope today's run didn't do that, but I think I am in the clear. My knee is sore, but it didn't affect my running at all today. Plus, all that running loosened up my neck and now that is feeling great.
Anyway, it was a fun and enjoyable run catching up with Dave and enjoying the mountains. It was a great day to be outdoors. The minor hail storm didn't even change my mind about that. Now, back to the projects....

The following is the elevation change for today's run. Just think about Jon as he finishes this section and still has 80 miles to go! Sucker.
Proof David helped

First 19 miles of the course? Shoot, you may as well have kept going!

That final picture looks a little too much like you are wearing a bra!
Glad to hear you could get out of the weeks slump...

I am really looking forward to running a trail run with you guys. I feel bad I can't help with the Bear this weekend. Friday is all booked up until late, and I promised the twins I would take them hiking on Saturday, maybe to jardine juniper. next year...

Yeah, what is all over your vest?
Dude, you were supposed to take everyone to the summit of Logan Peak, remember? Mark up that way? You clearly did not, based on your elevation profile.
