Philippians 4:13

Long drive to Alturas lake and back to drop off Katelyn at Luther Heights Bible Camp.  Sore and stiff from the race.  Got home and went for a bike ride with Justin and Kami in the evening just to shake off the rust.  

4:45am...4.25 easy miles with Moxie along Sunnyside.  Still a bit sore and stiff.  (Ride 3 2015)

5.5 miles in 39:30 (7:10 AP) at lunch on a nice cool and cloudy day.  Legs feeling better, glutes a bit sore.  (Mirage Red)

4:30am...6 miles with Moxie on a cool morning.  Ran along Sunnyside and wandered through the neighborhood.  (Ride 3 2015)

4 easy miles looping Freeman Park.  Warm outside, but needed to get out for a stress reliever. (Mirage Red)

10 mile bike ride through SRL and the river with Justin and Kami on a windy (and some rain) evening.  Nice times!

6:15am...5 easy miles with Moxie along Sunnyside. (Ride 3 2015)

Dropped off the dog, changed shoes and grabbe Justin for a run. Ran from home through Tauphaus Park and a bit in the neighborhood.  5 miles with Justin (with some fartleks) and another mile solo for 6 miles at 7:35 AP.  (Fastwitch 6)

Kami and I drove to Ketchum to spend a couple of nights before picking Katelyn up at camp.  After checking in, rode our mountain bikes around Sun Valley area for about 10 miles and ate at Grumpy's on a cool evening.  

5:30am...6 solo miles up through Sun Valley to the gun club and back.  Then Kami and I went out for 5 miles on the River Run Trail before breakfast at Perry's.  (Launch 2)

We then drove to the SNRA HQ and rode the Harriman Trail up to the Galena Lodge and back.  Close to 40 miles round trip...fun but very hard, wore us both out.

Dinner at Rico's along with a few beers on the patio.  Great day!

3 miles with Kami on the River Run trail before breakfast at the Kneadery.  Tired as I could not sleep last night.

Drove to Lake Alturas to pick up Katelyn.  On the way back saw lots of fast cars in town for the Road Rally, including 3 Bugati's!  Long drive back home.

Picked up our packets for the race tomorrow.

Mid life crisis car is gone.

I ran the IF Half marathon today.  Got a good time (1:15:39), faster than I thought I would, but the course logistics were a bit messed up and the course is short.  I ended up in 2nd to a guy who missed a turn at mile 8 then I missed a turn at mile 12 and ended up within about 5 seconds of one another at the end (he got me).  I went back and checked the course and I was "short" by about 0.05M (measured it).  The photographer (a friend) was parked and sitting over the arrows and never said anything when I turned the wrong way.

Post scipt: Feel pretty crappy about my behavior, and missing the turn in the park.  This is why I don't want to race...just run.

PSS: I went for drinks with my buddy who was the RD.  He said he checked with the photogapher and the time stamp on our pics were only about 10 seconds apart.  Just enough that the guy in front of me had just turned the corner when I came around the previous turn so I just missed seeing him at the turn.  Their claim to "2 minutes or so in the lead" is not true!

Still a fast downhill  for 6 miles then a grind for 7 miles of mostly flat.   GI issues now bad after the race.

Justin did great and got a new PR (1:26 and change), as did several other friends (Jeremy, Ron, Mike, Pat, etc.).

Glad to be done, love running but getting tired and too old for racing.  (Tangent)
