It's waaay better, isn't it?

After swearing I was going to retire from running after the Horse Butte 10 Miler last year, I did it again this year because yellow came out and shuffled along with me. And then last week I did a 14 mile trail race for the bucket list. I trained by myself most of the time this year since my training partner was injured but I managed to keep my brain happy since I was on trails (no iPod for me). There is no way in h*** I would do those distances on pavement with or without company. Too freakin' boring.

My best advice is to not throw your ribs violently on the ground. They don't like it.

Oh yeah, gaiters are a good thing.*

*And HTFU wristbands.
