Everybody must be too busy running & doing fun stuff to post.

Yesterday's plan was a 73 mile road ride, but the forecast was for rain, finally, so we ran instead. DH & my GF & I headed out on the trails, with no particular plan - just 5 miles minimum. Fortunately DH & I carried water, because we went for 3 hours. And it didn't particularly rain (light drizzle, briefly - it is scary dry out there!). 70 degrees and 90% humidity - glad it wasn't warmer!

I was sooooo beat by the end (and we did lots of walking toward the end). And my left calf was all tight & painful. I blame the cobblestone beach and all the sand (some beaches along Lake Superior are loose, round rocks, ranging from tiny up to maybe 3" diameter, which seem like they are piled 6 feet deep - constantly moving underfoot). Everything is so powder-dry, any sand you encounter is soft & hard to run in. It was lots of fun, but I was really glad to get home. Hmmm - a 25k trail race in 2 weeks. Hope I feel better than yesterday!

Gotta go prepare for the ride now (so it's windy today , but yesterday there was a chance of severe storms with large hail, etc).
