I met Joe B. and my friend Dave for some pretty gross mud work today. I got there early and did 2 miles on the 1/2 mile cinder track at South Park. There were some big storms that came through the area last night, so everything was wet. The terrain was a little sloppy, not unbearable, but the rain weighed down all the vegetation, so we were running through it basically the whole time. It was a struggle after 6 miles...some of it being lost & back tracking (not to mention 1,000' of vert & 800' of in the first 5 miles). We headed out for 10 on the trails - I was happy stopping after 8.6! I earned the large stack of pancakes that I devoured after this run! I think I finally hit/passed 1,000 miles for the year. My 2012 goal of 2,012 miles looks like it's slipping away. Oh well..2,013 in 2013?
Sounds like an adventure for sure. I just hit 1000 this week too. Not sure 2012 is still within reach. Silly tapering and recovery messing things up :)

Nice Hot and Heavy run. It would have been better with Tammy rather then with the boys! I hammered some pancakes this AM too. Have a good day brother

You are hitting those trails hard Mark. Great stuff. If you would have run Houston in January, you would have gotten those 2012. Just sayin' :)
