5:30 meet up at Longleaf with
Eudair, tatoo Mike, Bob, and Andrea, ran to Diane's house for
refreshments and picked up Diane, Craig, and Renee.
Into the park for a
bit more then return trip with Eudair.
Stopped to look up at a very
large owl in a tree surrounded by three crows with the owl hooting very
loudly at the crows and the crows cawing back, not sure what was going
on.
My foot held up pretty well and the weather was cooperative. I was ready to cut the run short if I had to but fortunately I started out the run with no foot pain, had a little bit of pain from miles 2-4 then it felt better for the rest of the run. Felt good after the run, too. Decisions, decisions, sometimes not sure whether to completely rest or just ease back a bit, easing back a bit has worked so far this time.
I had planned on doing some off road miles once we got into the park, but was pretty nice just to stay on the level surface of the bike path and also got to say hi to a bunch more people.
Next Saturday, just a shorter run, probably mostly off road and then the big race one week after that, back to Croom for 50 miles. The dark miles starting out will be challenging and then once the sun comes up I hope the heat will hold off as long as possible
