Felt great today.  Didn't feel any residual fatigue either from TOU or from Saturday's run.  Went out in the rain and got soaked.  That felt nice.

Rainy run with Cody today.  But it was a really great one.  This is by far the best I've felt at least since TOU and probably before.  Runs like today are a big part of why I run at all.  Jardine got rained out, so we decided to do Green Canyon, but that got rained out too, so we started off on the BST out and back.  That went ok, but I guess my long nap today had done something weird to me and I felt really lethargic and almost sleepy.  But by the time we got back to the mouth of Green Canyon we were seeing blue skies and we were soaked anyway, so we went up the single track.  It was beautiful.  Between the clouds, colors, wet, and sunset it was one of the most scenic runs I've been on.  Who knew that a trail you've run umpteen times can always still surprise you when the weather or season changes?  I started feeling good and Cody apparently did too (minus one potty break) because we pushed the pace pretty hard, especially coming back.  I felt fantastic.  No hurt at all in the legs and I felt like I could go as fast as I wanted.  I was so motivated by this that I did another three once I got home, just for kicks.

Another great run today on the River Trail.  I think I set a course PR...I will have to dig up the archives and check, but I know it was very fast and I don't remember doing it faster.  It felt effortless though.  I've been very pleasantly surprised with how well this week has gone and that for all intents and purposes I seem to be pretty well recovered from TOU much sooner than expected.  Hopefully it's the beginning of a good winter.

Easy 10 with Cody on Stump Hollow.  First time on that trail and I was very impressed.  If only it wasn't so far away.  But it's definitely worth the occasional run.
