after work bday loose 'em up, lookin' forward to bros comin' to cali

worked through lunch then snarfed a sub down between patients in afternoon = bloated and crampy after work run. sweet!

nice trail in marin headlands with bros from Utah, sweet time, beautiful views, new shoes, good times

Awesome trail run with the Utah brotherhood!  Had a blast this weekend.  Felt pretty good out on the trail. was perfect weather!  here some splits: 7:39, 7:57, 7:28, 11:24, 8:59, 8:54, 8:44, 8:32, 16:47 Monster single track trail beautiful, 4:49 last .64,  Their "17K" was a bit short I think.  I took over ten minutes off last years time on this course.  Got a medal for placing in age division which was cool.  Big Sur Marathon in 7 days. ouch!

played some bball tonight, was good to warm up the sore muscles.  hope I don't regret it, gotta get loose for big sur, 

yep, ran 1 mile, sweet, actually I am pretty stiff still, probably bball didn't help. don't want to push it before this weekend. need a massage

Wow, what an amazing race.  Might get a bit longwinded, so bear with me, or not. What an awesome race, stunning in scenery and challenging in hills.  I am very happy with my time, better than I was planning, actually I went to the expo speakers (very good with the like of Dean Karnazes(sp) they all said you can't PR at this course, pooey on them, I PR'ed.  I went to Monterey for the weekend with wob and bells, gorgeous weather, drove the course the day before which was very helpful, this section of highway 1 is out of this world gorgeous.  The only sucky thing about this race, and I mean BIGTIME sucky, is catch mandatory naeuseating bus ride at 3:45 am, did I mention that it sucked, almost lost it, but got to start and the unequaled race organization started, food and tons of portos, great mc's, was cool but not as cold as typical big sur I am told, then the race started, ;et's just say, nothing can compare.  I was going to try to take it a bit easy as I ran a 17K trailrun last weekend and will run another Marathon in 3 weeks (Ogden, Utah) but I felt great, ;et it fly, actually where I felt best was probably going up the two mile "Hurricane Hill" it was so amazing to look at coastline.  I then picked it up a bit for 12-21, his mile 22 at 3:00 flat and then got vey sore, just quad pain though, very crispy quads but there were plenty grabbing hamstrings and off sides so I just went for the PR and got it.  Here the splits if u like, sorry for the novel...

8:55, 8:31, 8:33, 8:13, 8:15, 8:20, 8:18, 8:44, 8:32, 7:49, 9:50, 9:02, 7:24, 7:37, 7:54, 7:57, 7:40, 8:18, 8:08, 8:20, 8:14, 8:58, 8:24, 8:53, 8:40, 9:14 (the hill right before finish hurt, hurt)

Avg 8:28  Total Ascent 3438 ft, total descent 3727

oh boy, quads are still quite sore from marathon.  these three miles felt like some later miles of the race, oh well, got out anyway.  hope to feel some more spunk this weekend.
