Made in home at 3:30 this afternoon. Did a little hiking and arch exploring along the way topped off with another cheeseburger at Ray's Tavern.

Gonna take the day off of running.

Good article in my new Outside about Overtraining (OTS) and how it impacts ultra runners.

Over training is my worst enemy and I pay a price whenever I go over 80 mpw. Something always gives sooner or later, whether it be slower running and racing or injury.

It's about 75 mow for me Steve. I just can tell when I'm up against the line and I back off. I think if you just approach the sport from the standpoint of wanting to run fast times but also wanting to maintain good health, high energy, and happiness, you can avoid that over training trap.

By the way, I think that Ray's tavern should be on our itinerary for our trip now. That will be up to the boss however:)
