morning - 10 Prospector. Went around the block with Elin and Molly. Then Twix and I went in the desert. It was a good run and just what I needed. Ran in a new pair of Hoka Speedgoats. I got them for free, or I would never have tried them - especially Speedgoats since they are named after Karl Meltzer. My only interaction with him is from my first Squaw Peak 50 (greatest comment forum on this blog ever, by the way; if you want to see what the “good old days” of the blog were like, go check it out in my races); anyway, Melzer was at an aid station, and when I came by in the lead he talked crap me. Screw that guy! I don’t care if you are some ultra superhero; we’ve never met, why you talking smack? So I still to this day I’m not super fond of him and it was tough to wear his shoes even if they were free. But hey, they were actually really good shoes, so whatevs! And, of course, it was a beautiful morning in the desert. (Speedgoat 10)
Not an amazing week with being sick and cutting down mileage.
Goal for next week: get feeling better and cruising with the team a bit.
