Just not feeling it today. Felt very sluggish until the threat of a severe downpour helped me kick it in gear and get back home.

tired Lebanon Hills Regional Park 10.03 mi 02:04 12:24 pace
After a long day at work its hard to crank out a quality 10 miler. My body wasn't cooperating until about mile 7 and then I started feeling great. At least I got out there to enjoy the fabulous d... read more

Race fees seem to be getting out of control. I don't mind paying a little more for a long trail race considering how much they provide at aid stations, but still, all races have gone up substantially over the last several years. Is it the large volume of runners and the difficulty organizing such an event? Is it the obligatory finishers medals? Are race organizers getting greedy? It's annoying, whatever the factors. Running and racing occasionally used to be relatively affordable!

As much as they might claim otherwise, I think it is the extra stuff that they add that is unnecessary. I'm sure the Afton people would claim that they needed a tricked out website, extra shirt options and cooler finishers medals, but that all just adds to the cost. I think I will just run the race with my own support on a day separate from race day. I might miss out on the camaraderie but I won't miss out on the beautiful scenery. My Afton money will just go toward my Moose Mountain fund :)

Foot was bothering me and I did not get to enjoy the beautiful day as much as I would have liked. Either I need new shoes or I need to take a trip to the doctor

Nice run with Greg P. in his neighborhood. It was his second run for the day so I thought he would take it easy on me, but no such luck. That man is a machine ;)

great Run around Beaver Lake 3.22 mi
Felt great to get out at 530 am. Didn't know that part of this route did not have street lights so that was kind of freaky. Made it home though :)

5:30 am!? That's a terrible hour to be out and about. ;)
