Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
16.00	1.00	17.00

AM: 67F -> 74F. 17 @ 8:35 AP. Fun morning on the trails. I debated skipping this run since I felt like crap yesterday, but I wound getting almost 8 hours of sleep last night and felt pretty good when I woke up. So I headed to Government Canyon (worst park name ever) and ran around until I hit ~2.5 hours on the watch. The trails there are no cakewalk and I was definitely working (possibly even werking)...I'd say moderate to hard aerobic effort, most of the time. Legs feel nice and beat up - I made sure to go careening out of control on every good downhill stretch.

Went through 40 oz of liquids during the run and was still really thirsty at the end. So I weighed myself when I got home and saw 139.8! Pretty sure the last time I was that light, my face was covered with zits and I was listening to the new Soundgarden album (Spoonman!!). Obviously way dehydrated today, but an interesting note nonetheless.

you better put some rocks in your pockets or you could blow away in a stiff wind.That sounded like a fairly nice and fun run.....are you all packed for your upcoming vacation?

Geez! Under 140 had to have been a shock. Nice time on the feet Joe.
