Easy run.  First morning run in a long time, as I have a lot of stuff I'm doing today.  Felt well rested and relaxed, especially considering last week's mileage.

A few miles easy followed by a few miles of tempo pace.  Warm and humid after this morning's rainstorm.

BST/N. Logan loop plus extensions.  Easy for the most part.

Mountain Workout

Ran from my place to the TV reflectors on top of the mountain just east of town via First Dam and BST.  3000 foot climb from lowest point (First Dam) to highest point (top of the hill), but there were hills all over in between that including Old Main Hill so it was probably more like 4000+ feet of total climbing.  That was kind of the point of this workout though.  Man, that hill is steep.  Some spots I swear are a 45 degree angle.  Running was probably the wrong word for most of the main climb...more of a jog walk, but that's all I could manage.  Excellent workout.  Quads are destroyed both from the climb and the controlled slide back down.  I didn't biff it once though, so that's a good sign.  Otherwise I probably would be dead, because I think once you start rolling on that hill you won't stop 'til you hit the bottom.  Anyway, great workout.  Hopefully it will help prep me for Logan Peak.

8.6 easy.  Quads are quite sore, so I took it very easy.  Played steal-the-bacon until late and did a lot of sprinting around chasing people and stealing the flag.  Legs are even more sore after that.  :P

Note to self:  Going on a long run starting at 11:00 at night is not a great idea.  I have never had this happen before, but as I was just about back home I kept getting slower and slower until I was just going at a plod and was actually getting sleepy while running...then I guess I momentarily fell asleep at the wheel because the next thing I knew I was running into a bush on the side of the road.  It was weird.  Never had any idea that was possible.  It must have only been for a moment though because I don't remember any discontinuity really, just that I was all of a sudden running into a bush.  It was a good thing I was only a block or two from home.  Interesting experience.  But I got my 70 for the week.
