Sizzling August Runs

[skhill]

I dared to run again today, and it was OK! The calf was tight and a little sore, especially going downhill, but no big deal. I took it easy, just 4 miles, faster than I had intended in the muggy dawn heat. It's tightened up again as I've been sitting and I'll see how it feels this evening. But it's good to be back out there, and I'm glad I've had the patience to let it heal up a bit before testing it out. Also glad I'm not training for a big fall event right now.

Good Morning All!


Skhill- You may have already posted this and I am too lazy right this sec to go back and look. Are you using a foam roller on your calf? If not, it could help.

TrekD- LOVE Bend Oregon. We were there last summer. Best mt biking I have ever done.

So yesterday was long trail run day. It was super duper humid and very gross. That is the official weather report. Made for a tough day. I was a bit slower than I wanted to be, but I did not walk, so that is a good thing. 11 trail miles in 2:06. And then, our group ride was postponed from Wed so we went and did that too. It actually felt good to spin my legs out. I was surprised that I still had any sweat to donate at that point. Today I am tired

Four more weeks to go until our trail race!

I am in Marina, CA (Monterey) for my former exchange student's wedding reception. We flew in yesterday around noon, spent time on Cannery Row and then headed for dinner at his wife's family home. Our hotel is right on the beach... so this morning we got up and ran about 2 miles. Very good way to start the day. Had to walk a bit when we were on a path that was deep sand (ouch). Then went out and had some awesome breakfast enchiladas, followed by another half mile of walking on the beach.
Just had a deep tissue massage, after having lunch with
my son and his wife.
Probably will run again tomorrow before heading back.

Me too. That's one of the main reasons we bought a house over there and spend our weekends there. I don't think I will ever get tired of those trails -- too many to choose from!

I am pea green with envy. We went to consider it as a place to retire. Loved it, but it is SO far from our friends and family. That was the negative. Phil's Trails...to die for.
