Clyde was born 35 years ago so to keep the tradition going, we ran 35 miles for his birthday. We started at the DC at 12:10am this morning. Mark and Steve ran the first loop with us. We did two 12.6 loops around Stone Cliff and Little Valley and then didn't extend around Stone Cliff on the final loop. The temps were absolutely perfect and the moon was bright so it made for a memorable run. We hit 35 miles at just under 4:11 for 7:10/mile. Only needed to survive with three Gu's, pretzels, Heed, a little Gatorade, and water.

This run was quite memorable. Very happy to hit something like this every now and then. I was super tired the rest of the day. I crashed at my parent's house for two hours before I went to work. I wish I could have stayed in bed. Memorable run for sure.

Ended up running 2.5 miles with the team this afternoon on part of their Kenyan Run. My body was just physically tired. Sat in a chair and watched the team do 200m finishes. Great group of student/athletes to work with.

Good job keeping me going. And a big thanks for being there. Glad you got some sleep before school. Nice job adding even more miles in the afternoon.

Nice job getting out and doing the miles with Clyde.
