I managed a 7 mile trail run this morning--training for the X-Terra. It was brutal. Up and down sand dunes for the first 6 miles. I had to walk about half of the hills. I averaged 11:40 minute miles.
My hams ache. My quads ache. My calfs ache. And I'm starving.

Wow, limewave, you rock.
I plotted out a 5K route around the neighborhood and ran it for the first time last night. It took me 30 minutes on the nose. I felt pretty good about that, since it's my longest run yet.2007 Trek 5000

Limewave...that sounds about the right pain level for Xterra training! All kidding aside, keep up the good work. How many weeks until the race?
