sunday. it was crowded and I am an inexperienced crowd runner. I was very very polite and never pushed through the crowds. the amount of people walking the 10k was staggering, and apparently the strategy is to walk into the bottle neck corners 4-wide. hahah..

my friend was, "move over!'........he left me in the dust. after he left me unceremoniously: I picked a tiny young college lady to pace me. we were kicking butt...until we weren't. she apparently is a polite runner as well. as the race progressed and we spread out, she found running room, and left me mouth agape. she was like a gazelle.

oh well. lone wolf running it is. I found my comfy place and just ran my run. my goal was to NOT STOP and take a knee anywhere. my lungs were pulling their weight...my legs were the suffering part. I could breath easy, my legs. sore.

never loved the sight of a finish line more. haha.. crossed it and found my apologetic buddy waiting for me. I am happy he got to haul ass...I wouldnt have been able to pace him anyways. he is always the better runner.

I jogged my morning routine the next morning and it was tough. I made it. legs sore. I am thankful it is raining this morning. taking an off day!!

next run? the hedonistic Bay to Breakers run. longer, and much hills. it is going to be gross. :D

thanks to all this running. I am going to start putting in for archery elk tags. time for one more backpack elk bow hunt. arguably the most difficult thing I have ever participated in. it will be nice to be able to breath while hunting...my lungs are vastly breathier.

Nicely Done.

Congrats, and here's to keeping it going.

As a past runner I can tell you it is infectious.
