Today was supposed to be a recovery run from Saturday's race. I ran along the shoreline trail with Steve, Ryan, and Matt V. When we got to parish creek, we decided to go up the switchbacks a tag Centerville peak. We came down the really fast way to the flag in Centerville canyon, then headed back on the shoreline trail. So much for easy recovery, but is was super fun run.

Spontaneous decisions are the best. Isn't it nice to be in shape to run 11 miles on a lark?

That's one a the main reason's why I run. So I can do a run like that at least once a week. I'll have to show you the route we took from the peak to the flag sometime. It was pretty narly. You'd like it.

It's a really good time of year to do that run; not too hot, so you don't need to lug water.
