Ran 4.3 nice and easy with the lovely cavewoman Kimi. Looks like we survived the Dirty Dash 10K in one piece. A few aches in some muscles I don't usually use like my hay bale hurdling muscles but other than that I feel great. Kim was feeling a little sluggish at first but was feeling good by the end.

9:38/132

Later ran at work just before lunch and got in just over 4 in the sun including 6-min barefoot on the grass. Nice to see my HR dropping lately on these runs!

I was once a Caveman before I moved to Manti but I don't think I got into it like you and Kim.

Terry you need to embrace your inner Caveman. I'm not sure if I've embraced my inner Templar yet.

I just clicked your link to Elder Busche's devotional. Way to make me cry on a Wednesday morning. I have not listened to that for a long time. Thanks for the PERSPECTIVE, I need it right now.
