Feeling much better about the race than I was on Saturday.  It was probably just a bad day.  The combination of heat, lack of sleep, and the frustrating trip the day before (and associated lack of nutrition) probably didn't help.  But, the fact that my legs were not the limiting factor is promising.  On a better day I'm totally confident that I can run a sub-2:30.  The plan for the next couple of weeks is to rest up.  I know my training has not been as good as I wanted since Vaquero Loco, but I feel that a small rest and a chance to have a fresh start will help me mentally and physically.  I will still run, but only when I feel like it and only as hard as I feel like it.

First run after SGM.  So of course I did a 15.5 mile trail run with Cody on the LRT from First Dam plus a nice climb up to the Wind Caves and back..  Legs were not happy with me for the last 5 miles, but that was to be expected and I actually felt pretty decent, all things considered.  Will be glad of the rest tomorrow, but I think I should be good to go next week for some relaxed, no pressure running.
