Geez, could it really be Friday already... I haven't had a lot of posts this week so maybe that is why it seems like I just posted about Friday. It has ended up being sort of a down week. My legs felt a bit torched after the run... then i torched myself on the 4th with some dehydration issues... then I jumped in a car and headed to the Northwest. Now I am up to Seattle for an evening (I am on the train right now), and Sunday I will head out to a youth camp for a week. Whew...
I did get a short run in this morning... felt pretty crappy, but it was beautiful out... so that sort of balanced it out.
Today: 3 miles
Week: 6 miles
This is an attempt to use my community (near and far) to help on my journey to get both my body and soul back in shape. It is a running journal, and a record of how that often parallels the walk of my life.

hey micah
well i ended up racing on friday. It didn't go well at all but i guess not racing in 3 years takes a toll. Anyway, i learned a lot from the race so i guess thats the only positive. The other good thing about it is that i didnt run hard enough to feel sore the next day so i dont need to recover, YEAH. Well hope your doing well. I will try to post more now i am off work until Sept. See ya
