A Brief Reprieve

Well, XTERRA just informed me that the Mission Gorge race has been postponed, again.  Now it will take place April 30th, making the Malibu Creek race the penultimate event instead of the final one.  While a bummer, and a pain in the ass due to having to change hotel reservations again, I'm happy that I won't have two races with only a week between them.  Of course, that assumes that the Black Mountain event proceeds as planned.

Hill Climbs (7mi)

Took the dog for a warm up run, the followed up with some hill climbs.

Recovery Run (4.1mi)

Took the dog for a short trail run.

Slacker!

Wow, I wish I knew what happened!  I've been so good about keeping my running entries up to date, but a few weeks ago I just started slacking off.  I can partly blame my attempt to get into the office an hour earlier, but that doesn't seem to completely cover it.  My days were getting pretty busy for a while there, and my evenings are quite a bit more crowded with the dog's obedience training, but why should that impact my ability to spend a lousy five minutes recounting how my run went?  I'd blame my thyroid medication if it wasn't for the fact that this issue predates the new prescription by a couple of weeks.

Whatever the reason, I'm going to work at keeping up to date again.  Only time will tell if it sticks this time.

Tempo Run (8.1mi) 3/1/2010

Took the dog for a warm up run, followed by a reduced tempo run.

Saturday Run (12.75mi) 2/27/2010

Since it was too rainy for the trails, I took the dog out for an extended road run.

Recovery Run (6mi) 2/26/2010

Went for a mellow run with the dog.
