Doug's Running Thingy

A little track work this morning before the rain sets in again.  A bit over two miles warmup, then 2X500 at 5:20 mile pace, and planned 2X200 at 30 seconds.  Hit the first one at 30 and felt a little tightness in the left quad, so bagged the next one.  Probably a combo of lingering soreness from Thurs track and the fact that I havent run a 30 second 200 in a few months.  Will be fine and dandy for Tues workout.

A bit over three miles on the trails on Paris Mountain - yes, Rob, THAT Paris Mountain. Travis and I are in Travelers Rest, SC tonight after tourning Western Carolina today and in anticipation of touring Furman and UNC Asheville tomorrow. Been a crazy couple weeks leading up to this trip and I never got the chance to bend your ear about Furman and whether you know the coaches there. Trav has been contacted by UNCA coach, and I suggested we pop into Western Carolina and Furman while we're up here.  Fun trip so far.  Trav enjoyed hearing about us riding up Paris Mountain and me falling over at the top... was that Paris Mt or... I dont know, its been 25 years!

Four miles on the treadmill at the hotel before heading to Furman for a campus tour, then up to Asheville for a tour of UNC Asheville - should be a fun day.

Never should have let Travis tour Furman - oh my!  Looks like I better get another job or two.  UNC Asheville was nice too, but after the Furman country club...

Left Asheville at 5 and got to my sister's just south of Raleigh a bit before 10 - not too bad.

Ran four this morning in 56 degrees on the country roads by her place - very nice run this morning.

Couple miles with the dog after driving 10 hrs home from NC.  Im thinking the beast could run for hours at 8 min pace.  Trav did 5 while Cassidy and I ran and then played fetch at the school.

Good trip, but good to be home too.
