    tired Island Lake Blue 8.5 mi 01:14 08:44 pace

    Tale of two halves. Felt pretty chipper starting out, but fatigue set in quickly. Cut it short and cruised in. Hope I recover fully by next Saturday...

    tired Seven Lakes 4 mi 00:40 10:05 pace

    Totally drained - physically and emotionally.
    Used this time to practice dialing in on my goal birthday run pace (10:00).

    I love to run. And I do not take it for granted, as it has come at a great cost at times over the years. Last evening I spent with a dear friend who lost her baby during labor and delivery. A re... read more

      Chuck, thanks for sharing this. We have had a similar reminder this year. Life is short. Hug your children and live life for the moment.

      Today is my daughter's 11th birthday, and her delivery was not easy. Every child born is a miracle, and you are right that we should cherish life. Will keep your friend in my thoughts.

      How very sad. I will give Leo an extra squeeze after his nap...his entrance into the world wasn't an easy one, but he made it unharmed, so we were thankful for that...

    The first 18 went pretty well, and I was under my goal pace of 11:00's. We had run nothing flat, and mostly muddy, but what I didn't know is those... read more

    good holdridge sans socks 4 mi 00:38 09:22 pace

    Easy run on the west loop. Just shakin it out before 50k on Saturday. Socks dropped out of my bag, so went sockless. Used to run that way, but not recently. No ill effect, even felt kinda good :)

    Not being used to such gentle terrain, I found myself moving faster than the planned ultra shuffle of 10-11 min/mile. Forced myself into longer walks early to keep from too much of an effort. Leg... read more

    alright at the track 5 mi 00:41 08:09 pace

    First track session in a long, long time. Very humbling. Legs certainly tired from the weekend yet. Killer head wind on the back straightaway was enough to kill your spirit, let alone momentum. ... read more
