Shambles! I got home late last night because I was out late entertaining my boss who is in town and I had no way to get in a run yesterday, so I got up early this morning to run. Unfortunately my alarm didn't go off so I was 30 minutes behind where I needed to be. I got to the trailhead and felt like shite squared. Too much rich heavy food. Ick. It was the first time this year that I actually thought about walking some of the switchbacks, but I kept up a running pace to the connector trail where I ran into a girl doing repeats on the steep hill. Awesome. We chatted for a minute and then I passed her. Up to the summit in a SLOW 49 minutes. I didn't stay long.
It was tough getting into a fast pace on the way down, but with about 1.5 to go I finally started feeling ok and I was able to run it in strong. Nalgene bottle dirtbag shower at the car and into work. |
