AM/Lunch: Wissahickon Valley Trails - 10.6 mile w/ ~1200 feet of gain.

I fell of course but only once and more of a stumble if we are keeping track. That's probably it for today (100 minutes on my feet is fine for today) even though the weather is very dry and around 70 degrees and mostly sunny. Very tempted to pack on miles and see if we can get this machine looking like a runner by August 1.

Decided to race a 5k on Sunday to get the legs spinning. A few of the Wanderers are also running, so I might have some guys to latch on to, and see if we can beat up on the young guns.

Even a bad stumble is not equivalent to a fall. Good idea on the 5k. It's been a while since you ran one. 2 weeks?! :) Seriously, seems like some quick turnover would be good. Good luck!

Sunday races!

That's not a thing in Utah. Too bad since I always have track meets on Saturday.

You get east of the Alleghenies and you get Sunday races. As near as I can tell, when you get to Ohio you start getting Saturday races. In Indiana they were always Saturday races, which I liked.
