Turn your rut into a groove.

pm--7 Anasazi w/ Chipmunk and Cholla. No bobcat sighting. The dirt continues to call.

pm--4.5 Nice, easy run w/ striders after. When I haven't done striders in a while, they're not very peppy.

pm--4.75 Harmon's trail uphill into the wind. Returned with the opposite. It was fun to hear Aspen vocalize her self-talk.

pm--7.25 Hill circuits x 3. These are tough but make one strong. There is a committed crew that is really growing in fitness and strength. 

pm--5.75 Classic Barrel Roll. I felt a bit trashed today, but so is life. The trails heal regardless. 
 

I finished Hyperion by Dan Simmons. It's a spin on the Canterbury Tales w/ some interesting allusions to Keats who is a favorite poet of mine.

am--14.5 SC/Virgin River trail. This is the longest I've run in a while. So when a friend invited me to accompany another friend on a long bday run, I thought it would be fun to see how my body would react. The run was a bit slower than usual, but the conversation was good. Nice way to finish the week.
