Super EZ day.
After 2 arduous days abck to back, opted to do some ultra training. Geared up with a hydration pack and some goodies and headed to the park where the "Yeti Chase" was going to be held. Plan was to meet BQ'er AShley to help her with her 14'er today and watch/cheer for some of the local talent as well.
Arrived in plenty of time to see folks warming up and spoke to several of our Sunday group (as they opted to race today), but no sign of Ashley. Hung out with parents of one of my HS runners (who took 2nd in the 5k!! AND could have taken first, but still lacks the confidence to get out and lead...)
Stayed to watch the 10k develop and, since no Ashley, took advantage of an offered ride home. Ate some pancakes and french toast and took a LONG nap.
Feeling relatively good, but very glad in retrospect that I didn;t have to tag on 14 additional miles today...
Finalizing spring racing plans....looks like it is the Illinois Marathon in late March (as marathoner Matt graduated from there) and possibly Canyonlands Half as a tune up. Have not run Canyonlands yet, so anyone else going or run it before?? Looks like I'll be tripping over the state line into bountiful Utah after all! |
