Met Sean K. in
Starkey park when it opened. We got going about 6:40 and ran together
for 4.5 miles then he pointed me on a trail that would get me back to
the parking lot. I technically did not get lost but ended up about a
half mile from the parking lot and had to run the last part on the road.
Had "fun" going through the freshly tilled sections of trail (good
strength training though).
I was originally going to run from home but
wanted to get some trail miles in and realized I could still fit in the
rest of the days activities (Universal with the kids). Thanks for
running a few with me Sean. So, this was actually my second longest trail run ever. Definitely need to log more miles out there and with the time change and more light it will be a little bit easier.
Last week I bought a stronger light to clip onto my hat but it was also blinding me. Last night I decided I'd put some electrical tape on the bottom of the light to get rid of the glare. It seemed to work great but then I realized I would not be needing it today. Oh, well it will come in handy later.
After going to Universal, I got home just in enough time to get food to cook dinner with - steak, some kind of fancy looking potatoes, asparagus and portabello mushrooms. Dinner went pretty well, I was able to get everything prepared at about the same time. That's usually the point where I fall apart.
Chatted with Jenny about her marathon. Pretty amazing time after just having done a 50K just 4 weeks ago. While tracking her I saw her keeping with the 3:40 pace group through the 20 mile point. I knew a lot could happen in the last 6 miles but it was great to see her running so strong. Jenny, you are amazing!!
