Saturday

Ow, still have some rough DOMS in my back and core.  Legs feel pretty decent though.

First:
Got up at 0600 and met my trail running group at 0650 for our 9mi lap.  The weather was beautiful.  I think it was low 60s with humidity somewhere around 70%.  Probably going to be the last run in my Saucony Peregrine v1 trail shoes.  The right shoe has a tear (really more of a hole now I guess) on right side that stretches from the heal to the base of the little toe.  The left shoe has a hole on the left side that stretches from the base of the little toe about 3/4 of the way to the heal.  I ordered a new pair of Peregrines v3 trail shoes, should hopefully be delivered on Monday.

Not too many people out there this morning.  I think there was maybe 7 total.  I started out with Kyle.  He had ran the earlier 9mi lap and was going to add some extra stuff on to the 7am lap so he wanted to go slower than he normally does.  Fine by me.  We chatted and paced each other until the halfway point when he turned onto a different trail to add some more miles on.  Also, maybe 15 minutes into the run, we were side by side and he tripped and fell on a root or something.  He rolled like you're supposed to be in the process of doing that, he kicked me in the left thigh.  That felt delightful.

The rest of the run was pretty uneventful.  Kyle and I had started at a quicker pace than the rest of the guys, so I was by myself for the second half.  Thought I was making pretty good time but when I finished, I found that I did a 1:15.  Which is 3min slower than last week, when I could barely stand up.  Not really sure what happened.

Got home, ate breakfast, recovered.  Then did one round of 25 squats and 25 diamond push ups, on the hour each hour from 11am to 3pm when the big college football games states.
