AM - 7 Twix/Sunrise. Slept in a few today, which was nice. Have been wearing the Pegs a lot this week trying to help achilles. Hurts a bunch. Rainy today. (Peg 48.5) afternoon - 8 Root Beer Mile/Prospector. On the down side, my Root Beer Mile was horrid. I was the absolute last person out of the gate. The leaders were finishing their first lap when I finally got my first one down. I don't know what the deal was, but I just got a gas bubble totally stuck in my gut and could drink or burp or anything. From there on out I did pretty well, but still struggled in to a 12:50. Last year I was over 3 minute quicker. On the up side, the XC team raised around $1000 to help a sick little fellow in our area - PVXC4ever! Then we went over to Prospector and ran the trails in the mud. Beside my achilles just being heinous and the huge sugar headache I had, the run was awesome. Love the desert in the rain!
