4-3-2-1

Was out a little late last night, so slept in. Didn't get to the trail until 10AM, when it was already 85 and sunny. Humidity was only about 50%, so it wasn't too bad.

Decided not to carry fluids. So I ran out 2 miles and back (4 miles) then drank. Then ran out 1.5 miles and back(3 miles), then drank Then out 1 mile and back (2 miles) then drank, then ran 1/2 mile out and back (1 mile)...I can't say it was pleasant, but it is my longest run since UVM. I'm gradually building my mileage -- while fighting the heat!

Had a great 3-day Independence Day weekend...it's back to work tomorrow.

I thought 4-3-2-1 was some kind of ladder speedwork! :) Smart way to do the "aid station"! Nice mileage to start the week off. It's hard to go back to work after a nice 3day weekend, isn't it? HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Nice run. El Scorcho is coming up soon, right?

work must be super busy! Hope you're staying cool and having fun!

From MarcE on Fri, Jul 09, 2010 at 13:28:53 from 204.16.82.120

Yes, work has been very busy! Staying cool? not so much :)

Dale, yep, El Scorcho 50K is on July 25th..I'd be lying if I said I was looking forward to it. :)
