shoes: Ice Bugs Men's Blue 8.5
Few big mistakes. Raw. Slippery. Hilly. Enjoyed myself.
Broke out a new pair of Ice Bugs today. No easing them into a relationship gently - just right away - slam, blam, here's the mud, man.

Note
When you don't have any training in the last 7 days, you see the entire message below on the home page, and also the "Get started using your log!" message on you log. Man, talk about pressure!

Your log can be a powerful motivator, since it helps introduce structure and accountability to your training.

Thanks to Chris and Kris, I got a workout done - the first in two weeks! So, I won't see that message again for at least a week.
The first Chris needed a ride to the airport at 6:30 AM. So, I figured being up and out with my gear would be a step in the right direction.
Then I talked to Kris last night, and she agreed to meet me for a hike - but NOT if it was raining. So, riding back from the airport, and having to pass my exits, and with it raining, I called to say it was raining here, but what about further south. Left a message and looped around the exit a couple of times trying to decide whether I was a wuss or not. I was just deciding, when Kris called back, and we talked ourselves into giving it a try.
And, I am so happy that we did. We started at Pine Grove, took the South Valley Trail to the North Valley trail to Lake One Road. Headed up that to the Scenic Loop, and then hooked on to the Mary Bird Trail to Turkey Run Educational Center (for a convenient potty break). Back down on the Turkey Run Trail, to the South Valley trail, and back up to Pine Grove.
We kept a fairly brisk pace up except for maybe 2 miles just a bit slower when Kris' knee started hurting a bit more. Gabbed the whole time. An excellent workout, as well as great non-wuss company. Unscathed except for one little blister on the top of a toe. Yeah, my last long workout for the half marathon is in the books, and now I can go back to taper mode. :)
