Did the usual run in to the train station this morning. My quads are absolutely hammered from my race on Saturday. Needless to say, it was a slow run in. I haven't been this sore two days after a race in a long time. I also forgot my water bottle, not critical in the morning, but it's going to be a dry run home this afternoon.
The afternoon run was indeed warm. Since I forgot my bottle, I really tanked up on fluids before I left work. the run to the train station (2 miles) was fine. The run from the train station to home got a little dry, but a good thing happened to me. This hot babe in this huge, lifted F250 stopped and asked if I wanted a ride home. Of course I told my wife yes. ( I just bought her a 2005 pickup last weekend to replace her worn out F150.)
The legs felt a little better, especially as the run home went on. Still, I think I'm not going to run in tomorrow, I'll just go running at lunch.

| Hot, hot, hot. Went running at lunch. I had to dro by Striders Running store and thought I'd just run up there at lunch. It was a warm run and not too fast. Glad I had a water bottle. | | Add Comment |

Did the run into work thing this morning. Legs are feeling much better. Still somewhat sore, but not nearly as much. I don't know if anyone else experiences this, but on the way in to work from the train station I got really lightheaded. Not to the p oint of passing out, but a really disjointed feeling. I feel fine now. Anyone else had that happen to them? I have had it happen numerous times over the years.
The run home was p[retty uneventful. Just an average run. | | Add Comment |

Almost tanked the run into the train station this mroning. I was (and still am) very tired. It's so hard to get to bed early during the summer when the sun is shining. Good thing it's Thursday and I can leave work early. I plan on taking a nap this afternoon. Yea! I actually left work at 1:00. The run home was fine, kind of warm but not too bad. Added bonus, I got to take my nap and it was a good thing. | | Add Comment |

| Ran from Elbow Fork (6500') in Millcreek Canyon up to the Upper Big Water parking lot, then past Dog Lake, on to Desolation Lake and turned around at the radio towers near Scott's Pass above Brighton Ski Area. Much of the run was well above 9000'. I was trying to get an idea of my training for altitude and it seemed to go ok. I found that I could actually run the more gentle uphills even at 9500'. Downhills were not an issue. It was also a last long training run before the Tahoe Rim 100 in 2 weeks. The Tahoe Rim course only goes to 9200' briefly, no sustained mileage above 9000', so that's good. My time was right at 4 hours to the turn with the run out being mostly uphill. The time back was 2:50, so not too bad for some very technical trail running up high. Total time was under 7 hours and I stopped numerous times to take in the scenery, and made one wrong turn that ate up about 10 minutes. That makes my pace somewhat slower than last week's race, but I was happy with it. It took me several days to recover from last Saturday's race so doing the run today in the time I did was good. Going up to Dog Lake there were way too many dogs, literally hundreds, and all off leash. Although I have 4 dogs of my own, dogs off leash bug me because I've been bitten while running. Only one showed anything beyond a passing interest and I told the owner to get her dog as I had been bitten before. Lots of mountain bikers once I got past Desolation. All in all, a very busy trail day. | | Add Comment |
