Reset

The reset starts today

Mountain Goat Trail

Got in a much needed 6ish mile trail run this afternoon.  I connected the tricky, rocky part of narrow trail again to the Sunday club trail.  I'm gonna call this the Mountain Goat trail.  It really is too.  It's a lot of fun and treacherous too.  You really have to watch every single step otherwise it could be disaster.  Since I've had trouble tying all the trails together they run on Sundays I ran it backwards today and got in a great 1:20 that I think I'll be able to repeat.

Recoup

Recouped 5 more miles this morning that I wouldn't have had had I done the 50k Saturday.  12 miles recouped so far so I'm feeling a bit less guilty about pussing out.   This morning was made doubly nice because I came very close to NOT getting out of bed.  Misty and I knew neither of us would get a very good nights sleep due to the time change and sure enough we didn't.  After laying there for a few minutes I went ahead and got up.  I sure am glad I did.  I ended up up having a decent run after a not so good run yesterday afternoon.  My knee and my neuroma were both acting up yesterday.  Today both were feeling good.  I'm hoping my knee was better due to getting busy with the foam roller yesterday evening.

7

7 mile loop at LBL in 1:13.  Sluggish, didn't feel to good.  Out of sync.  We bailed out of Prickly Pear this weekend due to the shitty weather.  I can take the cold OR the rain but together.......no thanks.  I'll recoup some of the miles I would have had at the race but not all of them.  Oh well....

46:57

46:57 was my time this morning for the Congress to Mopac loop at LBL.  We got the "running band" back together this morning.  Shan, Steve, Diana, Mark and myself all together again.  In a nutshell I was still the big fat lumbering guy huffing and puffing to keep up, but I made it.  I'm going to use this as a starting point.  That's why I'm posting my time.  Next week should start the barefooting in Zilker with the time change coming this Sunday.  There are most likely NOT going to be very many, if any, people behind me at the Prickly Pear 50k this Saturday in San Antonio.  It's all good though.  I'll be ahead of all the people at home on the couch!!

Almost

Got in an easy 5 at LBL this morning.  Pretty darn proud of myself this morning getting out of bed when the little voices were saying," sleep.....sleep."  I didn't sleep very well and almost didn't get up.  I suspect Misty would not have gotten up to do bootcamp if I had turned over.  It all worked out good though.  I detoured over to Zilker Park and drove the big loop to measure it.  As soon as the time changes I'm going to do some barefoot running around the loop on the grass.  I really think this will help my running.

Great weekend

Had a great weekend of running and walking.  10 miles in 2hrs at LBL Saturday morning and Misty and I got in a great 6 mile hike in the Barton Creek Greenbelt!!
