AM- I went out on an easy run this morning. I went in to River Heights and Providence and did an easy loop. I didn't feel too good today, pretty slow, sluggish, and not much energy. It was probably the events of the weekend all combined. I always have some runs like that once in a while, and they dampen my spirits a bit, but I know that I usually feel better the next time out. 8.2 miles 1:02:15

(Hurricane-320 miles)

PM- Drove my wife and son upto the river trail and they went to the nature center while I ran. I ran up the trail just past single track and back. It was hot when I started but by the time I finished things were starting to cool off. I felt way better tonight on my run. I ran good, and even ran back in 6:30 average pace, including the single track section. I finally got some good trail shoes the other day (Montrail Hardrocks) and I loved them. I highly recommend them, at least for the first 6 miles of wear. 6 miles in 41:31 I ran back upto the nature center after to meet my wife and son.

(Hardrock- 6 miles)

You had a high mileage week after WBR, and then yesterday was a fast Sunday. If you do not properly carboload/hydrate/electrolyte load before and after, you'll feel the effects in the Monday run.

Amen Sasha, you the the nail right on the head!

From James on Mon, Jul 02, 2007 at 13:41:46

I meant to say you hit the nail on the head!

I did get your email- sorry you will miss the run. Too bad Paul won't be there to take a bunch of photos of it. We will for sure do it again- I used to run it a few times a month.

You can borrow my camera if you want.

From Jon on Mon, Jul 02, 2007 at 15:01:17

No, that's ok, I have my own. But you would have to take the pictures so I could catch up.

From Cody on Mon, Jul 02, 2007 at 15:05:26

He can take them practically running. by the end of the run sat I was not getting any rest waiting for him to take the pictures.

James, I can't run this evening at all. Sorry. BTW Dan is MIA. (not at work today, no email at home)

Sasha !!! You said you would fix the refresh/repost problem. Grrrr

From Jon on Mon, Jul 02, 2007 at 15:11:13

That's what I figured, but anything to let us catch him is good.

Maybe you should get a CPA to do CPR on his EKG so he won't be DOA. Or have his HT do a PPI with the EQP during BYC. I can contact the LPD to get an APB on his XYZ with 0% ROI.

From James on Mon, Jul 02, 2007 at 15:37:42

I understood about half of that!

From Jon on Mon, Jul 02, 2007 at 15:53:06

About the same amount as I understood!

Hey, what time did you start on the nature trail? I ended up having to be home at 6:45, so I just did the river trail, too. I didn't finish on it till 6:30 but never saw you. I even had some pebbles in my hand that I was going to lob at you.
