Finally got last Sunday's race results. I placed 5th out of 26 in my age group. Not too bad. If I had run the same time as three years ago, I would have been in second place. Something to work on for next year. I was a min/mile slower. I knew I would be. I was a trail running beast ( well as beastly as an old, slow middle of the packer can be) last time I did the race. Time to find that beast again

I got out for another easy, rainy 4 miler yesterday, feeling pretty good and recovered in spite of 2 really hard yoga classes this week. Ready for tomorrow's longish trail run. Ok...off to work I go, time to impart knowledge of noncyclic photophosphorylation to a herd of very smart teens.
