Along Eagle Lake with Judson and Matt. Good to see Karen, Bob & Vanessa. 4M yesterday, too.

Keep running!

good to hear you are around.

Training in the heat

after the discussion the other day I thought a few of you might find this interesting.

legs are VERY tired today. Didn't quite get in the mileage planned, but I'll run easy with Bozo tomorrow to make up for it, and it will feel much better. Thanks Julie, for putting up with my slowness:)

Nice and easy with Matt, Steve, Karen and then Bob and Vanessa showed up by 6:45. Nice morning.

Brendan looks like he got lucky in the heat placement. The three guys who will probably go to the Olympics are in the other heats, so Brendan should advance. Good luck.

The extra .35 was due to backtracking. It seems my little training partner secretly took off and deposited her pink shoe along our path. lol The run was followed by a yummy breakfast at Jordans.

I got to chat with Marion and Holly, and their very well behaved pups. I saw Ginger and Julie running, and wanted to stop and visit, but since I wasn't sure if they were out for an easy jaunt or not I kept going. :(

I really can't remember the last time I did this loop. I think I did it once or twice last year, but it has been some time. I don't think I have run 10 miles since March. Not sure what I have been doing with my time, but it felt good to be out there today. Sorry I refused to run with you, Julie. I hope you consider it a compliment, but I really could/should have been nicer in my refusal.

Beautiful morning. Great to see Steve again. Sorry I missed the 6 a.m. crew. It was fun seeing Holly, Marian, and pups along with Bob & Becky. Even got to see Craig & Joann along EL. Life is good in the woods.

trials are on from 11pm to 1am on USA tonight. The 400, womens 3-k steeple and first round of the 1500's is on.

Just took it easy. 30 min on the bike trainer and a little strength and core.
