| Legacy Parkway Trail. I tried to run slow and keep things super easy. That is difficult to do when the body wants to run faster. I am running the Bair Gutsman on Saturday, so I wanted to stretch out my legs, but didn't want to over do it. | | Add Comment |

| I ran this race last year for the first time. It is an extremely challenging uphill grind followed by an extremely technical downhill run. It uses the same trail for up and down. I had somehow forgotten the pain and signed up for the race again. The started the race two minutes early, and I was just coming out of the restroom. I started out at the back of the pack. The first 1.5 miles is paved road. This got the runners spread out a bit. The we hit the trail The next 3.5 is a dirt trail up the mountain. Some stretches of it are very steep. Heading up I saw Matt Williams at about the same place in the race that I saw him last year. Passing him was Deja Vu. I made it up in decent time, but my legs felt dead at the top. There was one aid station at the top. After refueling I felt better and started bombing the downhill. I passed several people on the downhill. Towards the end of the trail I tripped and went down hard. My hand was bleeding and my knees were scratched up. I was able to maintain a stronger pace than last year and finished in 2:53:06. Which is 2:32 faster than last year. Matt Williams also beat his time from last year. It was tons of fun. | | Comments(5) |

| Recovering from Bair Gutsman. Tried to keep the run flat. Anything with the slightest downhill caused my quads to scream. | | Add Comment |

| I am currently on a business trip. I ran on the roads towards the mountains until I found a trail. I did about three miles on the trail and then worked my way back to the hotel. | | Add Comment |

| My work has been crazy busy lately and I haven't been running for 2 weeks. But today I was able to hook up with Kam and Tara and ran the Mueller Park Loop. The temps were nice today. I led up to Elephant Rock and the pace felt good. Kam led from elephant rock to Rudy Flat and I dropped back a bit. The down hill is always my favorite and I opened it up on the dirt road a gained some distance on Kam and Tara. It was a fun morning. | | Comments(2) |
