Larry, Wayne and I ran the Cascade route. It must have been opposite day, because it was windy everywhere except near the mouth of the canyon. The winds must have been canceling each other out.

I wore my new Saucony Guide TR 2 trail shoes this morning for the first time. I plan to wear them on our 4.5 hour trail run on Saturday and I wanted to get in at least one run in them before then. They felt good.

Larry wore his new Nathan HPL 20 hydration vest to try it out before Saturday. It looked pretty sweet. Mine should arrive today.

As Red Riding Hood said in "Into the Woods", I'm excited and scared to go "into the woods" for a 4.5 hour trail run on Saturday. I'm not afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, but I'll likely encounter fatigue and burning muscles (on the uphills), and possibly nausea, blisters, chafing, heat and exhaustion. Sounds like an adventure.

That trail run sound like fun Paul. I look forward to hearing about it. Maybe the softer terrain of the trail will help keep the legs/feet happier than otherwise for 4.5 hours.
