Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

"Julius Caesar," Act I, scene 2, 190-95

It had been a while since I'd gone out in the VFFs (I was really sore for 3-4 days the last time and got a little worried that it was too much, so I took a break for a couple of weeks), so I decided to break them out again and haul Maja out with me for an easy 4.  I hit a long stretch of muddy sidewalk along 20th East where the new church has been built.  The mud felt pretty slimy in the VFFs--it was kind of cool.

Left the Garmin home today, but I'm guessing the pace was right around 7-flat with an AHR below 160.

Easy jaunt over to Shriner's and back.  Maja is getting so much better at anticipating my turns and street-crossings and not tripping me. It was a beautiful morning.  I got out a little late (around 6:20), so it was just getting light during the final couple of miles.  I love being out in the morning.  I just wish I loved getting up in the morning.

I leave for Korea tomorrow to visit my parents.  I'm taking the VFFs, since the area around my parents' place in Seoul has miles and miles of rubberized exercise trails.  I'm still wary of doing more than a few runs a week in the VFFs as my muscles and tendons adjust to the different stresses, but the softer surfaces might make it more enjoyable to go out 2 or 3 times within the week I'll spend there.
