Winning Back What I Lost

625AM: Got home late last night from a fishing trip w/ my dad to the S Fork Boise R.  Normally, that would be a nice diversion but not an especially memorable occasion.  Well, this one was different precisely because we (my dad) flipped the boat and we floated down river for a couple hundred yards holding onto my overturned pontoon.  We were eventually able to flip it back over and then float downstream, sans oars, near where I had stashed my mt bike so that I could bike 3 or 4 miles uphill back to my truck and trailer.  The whole episode was a model for what not to do.  Tops on the list: Never wear waders when floating because they act like concrete golashes and pull you down to the bottom.  I can laugh about it now but the outcome was sort of in doubt until we actually got to the riverbank a few minutes after we had flipped the boat.

Exhausting run that ended w/ me dry heaving in my front yard in full view of neighbors leaving for work.  It wasn't that I ran hard (8:25/mi pace overall) but I did pick up the pace the last couple of miles and sprinted to the end.  I think the recidivism rate for hurling after/during a run is similar to suffering from a concussion or rolling an ankle.  Once you do it once, it becomes increasingly likely that you'll do it again.
