I was going to run with Sasha this morning at 5:30 am, too early for me today. I slept outside with my little boy and was so tired that I slept right through my alarm. I could finally move my body at about 8:00 am. That is what happens when you do a rely over the weekend.

I went running just after 8:00 am when I got up. I went up the 900 E hill passed the Temple and up to the mouth of AF canyon via the highways. There was a stiff canyon breeze blowing. I came back on the Highland trail system and 100 E. I saw a lot of people out biking, running, and golfing. I felt comfortable and good other than my one shoulder being kinking from sleeping funny on it last night.  11 miles in 1:19:32, 7:14 average.

(2130- 101 miles)

Its good to see that Im not the only one that is still wiped out from WBR. Im glad that Im not the only one that feels like I do. Ive been reading a bunch of the teams blogs and taking a day off has been done by a few of us.

I didn't get sore from my legs this year. I am always tired form not sleeping and it takes me a while to get over it. I felt way better today waking up early. It is probably good for you to rest up a bit. You have been doing a lot of racing and sometimes you need a break to stay fresh.
