Rocky Raccoon 25K. Gorgeous, cold morning. Perfect racing weather. Really, really good race. Pretty much squeezed everything I had out of it. Ran 100% of the course - no walking of note. Hit my splits and had a great time. 71 out of 315. A PR to boot.

Zero day before RR 25K tomorrow.

Sabine with Chris. Very achy, stiff start - tight back, hips, etc. Typical, late-in-the-week, after-work condition. That said, freakin' gorgeous weather and a solid run overall.

Hermann-Rice short. Damp, cool early-morning run. Just a little ache in the left shin & hip, but felt fine otherwise. Wasted time early on trying to avoid puddles of water around Rice. Thought I was a roadie or something. Pushed the last 2 miles a bit harder for a good finish.

Hermann short. Pulled the plug on this one. Too many aches that failed to fade as I warmed up. Shins on both legs, left knee, back, you name it. Lugging a tired 47 lbs trick or treater a quarter mile last night definitely didn't help. Will hit the Advil today and see how things feel tomorrow. No real reason to run through aches today...

Sunday trails - solo. Took the legs almost a half hour to come alive, but once they did, I was able to keep an honest pace. Gorgeous morning.
