I was pleasantly surprised this morning to find that there was almost no soreness in my calves, ankle or knee. I was still a little stiff, but nothing was really hurting. I thought I'd try and do five, but I felt good enough that I ran the North Cottonwood stretch. I could feel my calves tightening up towards the end of the 9 percent grade, but I was still able to maintain a reasonable pace.

Temperatures were very pleasant this morning (57 and 50 RH). I think I'll try to do a ten miler tomorrow.

It's good to hear that your feeling recovered from the race. I think I'm about there, too.

It looks like we're going to run the 20-miler from South Fork to the Lake on Saturday. We didn't nail down what time we're leaving. When would work best for you? I think we can pick you (and your buddy?) up at the mouth of the canyon then drive you back there after the run.
