| Trail Running long 1:31:00 [2]9.5 mi (9:34 / mi) | |
| shoes: Vasque Blur 2 |
| Needed a long workout and hills in hopes of having some shot at doing okay the the Possum Trot. I went to the hilly section of Battle Creek for a long slow run. About 20 minutes in I had one of those, "I feel awful, I should quit, I am sure I am getting sick or something else is wrong" moments. Walked up the next hill, made a mental deal to make it to one hour and then go home. At 1 hour I felt great and finished the workout. Legs felt good after that little bout. |

I'm going to try to make it 3 days in a row tomorrow. I'm thinking about a nice, easy (for real) trail run/terrain run somewhere 1.5-2 hours. Maybe at Hyland. Anybody interested give me a call. |
| Mtn Biking (with Jasper) 50:00 [1]5.0 mi (10:00 / mi) | |
| |
| Took Jasper to see the new bridge over Hiawatha on the Greenway. Very cool. He got cold on the way back, so we sang about 36 verses of the "Hot Cocoa Song." The lines can be whatever you want, but they all end the same, "because we like hot cocoa."
