That's the 4th time I've hiked it this year. Jeez!  I took Sage again. This time, she seemed a little warn out at the end. I think the heat got to her. I saw a couple of trail-runners going up hill. Totally nuts! Hope I'm that nuts some day.

Upper Body Workout. I tried a few different exercises that were in the Body For Life book like the bench-dips. I have heard that Coach Bill doesn't like step-lunges nor ham-string curls. So I avoid them but what about the ham-string exercise where you lean forward with dumbbells, then pull back, keeping your back straight. Is that one ok? Or in other words, what Hamstring exercise, if any, is recommended? 

Nice little square, flat run. I think I PRed by a few seconds. It was fun to run with a bunch of neighbors and family.

I did something I don't normally do. I ran about 1 1/2 miles to the start to get warmed up. But I can't tell if it made any difference. I had planned to run another few miles afterward. But no, my body said "NO!"
