Every Race is an Adventure!

Larry and I more or less ran the neighborhood 5K course.

I didn't run this morning, but I got in a good workout playing church basketball. We had a game at 10:00pm, and we ended up playing 4 against 10. My two young adult sons and I, with my neighbor James, were the four. We were still within 14 or so I think at half time, but late in the game we ran out of gas and they ended up winning by 24 or so. It was still a lot of fun and, like I said, a pretty good workout.

I wasn't tired, and had a ton of work to do. I had been working from home until just before the game, and I continued and worked through the next day until about 11:30pm (with a nap in the middle of the day). I went into work on Friday, but it took me until Saturday to recover.

Larry, Wayne and I left the neighborhood at 8:00am. The plan was to meet Kerry at the mouth of the canyon at 8:30am then run up to the Bridal Veil Falls parking lot and back. The wind out of the canyon was so strong and frigid that when we got to the mouth and met Kerry, we decided to run back home with the wind at our backs. We wandered the neighborhood a bit and ended up with just over 8 miles before I drove Kerry back to his car. Despite the cold, it was good running with Kerry again.

With all the long work hours, I decided to use the week as a recovery week. The PF in my right foot flared up a little after the Painter's half marathon, so I figured a light week would be okay.
