AM: Ran 6 mile river bottoms loop with Kim. Kay also joined us for some of the miles. Legs feeling like lead today, I'll have to try sitting in the ice bath tonight and see if that helps. Did a few strides toward the end of the run that helped loosen things up a little. With the Bridal Veil fire situation I'm not sure what to expect as far as Saturday 1/2 marathon course.

Ave pace around 9:30 if I remember correctly.

Late AM: 11 minutes on bike and wimpy version of the core workout.

On a side note....we had a great time last night entertaining some guests and friends from Japan that have recently had our son who is serving there over to their home for dinner. What kind and gracious people! They invited our family to stay with them if we make it to Japan. Hope we can take them up on the offer.

Fire really puts a damper on all of our running plans! ;D

Oh yeah - I forgot they have a fire up there. I guess I should start somewhat of a taper for the race on Saturday.

You better get that lead out of those legs! How ever it could work to your advantage on the down hills just lean forward a little more and you will fly down the course. I think that it has to do a lot with the weather and the long miles that come with Aug marathon training. By the way pu talar mjog godur inslensku! Pu ert tilbuin ad fara til islands og hlaupa marapon naesta ar.. (Translation - You speak very good Icelandic, you are ready to go Iceland next year and run the marathon)

Ice baths. Boy are those fun! Did one last week after my long run and it sure helped.
