My plan was to do a 10-mile trail run, out-and-back from Superior to Hwy 93.

I started on the Mayhoffer-Singletree trail and headed east. But, when I got to the Cowdrey Draw trail at 66th Street at 2.6 miles in, the gate was locked due to "mud" (which is hard to believe, given how bone-dry the other trails were) -- so I turned around. Maybe I was slightly relieved... When I got back to my starting point, I did an extra bit of distance & climb by heading south on the Meadowlark Trail, but I still didn't get in the full 10 miles.

p.s. I think I kinda hate these trail shoes -- my feet hurt and I had unpleasant toe hot-spots for most of this run.

C • try some other ones? those ... 3

Cinnamon-chile-chocolate Cinco de Mayo party cookies turned out well:

LoCO FIT breakfast run starting from Otis Coffee in Lafayette -- easy out-and-back on the Coal Creek Trail. A beautiful morning with birds and prairie dogs chirping!

Plan for the rest of today: shop-vac the garage floor (winter road grime -- gravel and dirt); finish unpacking from West Point trip (suitcase is still sitting half-full in my living room, and I just remembered / discovered the plastic bag full of wet shoes and socks -- gross); bake treats to take to Cinco de Mayo / 50th birthday party tomorrow (Mexican Chocolate Icebox Cookies); and attend a friend's flute-bassoon-piano concert.

C • Last year I took "Mexican brownies" 2

Out and back on the Coal Creek Trail.

Splitting headache (caffeine withdrawal + jaw clenching / teeth grinding + too much screen time at work without glasses on). Also, my hands went numb and my "sit bones" were in pain for the last ~five miles.

But otherwise this was great. ;-)

C • Caffeine withdrawal 8

LoCO FIT 5K Time Trial @ Coal Creek Trail: 8:55, 8:31, 8:09, 0:49.

For comparison: 5/1/2018 -- 25:52 (8:47, 8:22, 7:51, 0:52).

It's cold (~40°F) and rainy again, but I couldn't handle a third consecutive day of sloth...

Runners Roost group run -- Dillon Rd, golf course, Coal Creek trail, Cherry St, bike path, and then back on Dillon.

I skipped the beer & food afterwards in favor of a hot bath at home.

It was 40ish and raining when it was time to go to my run group workout...and I felt like crap after getting ~four hours of sleep last night...so I flaked out and skipped the workout. :-|

I had lots of RMOC crapola to catch up on...so I skipped my usual Monday night yoga class.
