The Perfect Excuse

You're not going to let a little HURRICANE stop you from running now are you?

Naah, it's just going to be a bit of wind and rain by the time it gets to us but it does seem to be heading dead center for Saint John where our little run is scheduled for Sunday morning. We shall see what happens...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch I've been 'pleasantly tired' for the entire day as a result of my medium long run yesterday. After a hold back the horses very easy kind of run the day before I guess that this was to be expected. I can never quite get used to running these midweek runs as just another (but longer) easy run as they always manage to do me in, one way of the other. And so, 14 miles and almost 2 hours later I was finished and standing quietly in the cold pond cooling down the legs (and the rest of me as well). That evening it was ice packs and in the horizontal position on the couch as I attempted to recover.

Today, it was that tired feeling that predominated for most of the day as the legs began to recover. The scheduled 8 mile run was cut back slightly to a bit less than 6 as this time I went real easy today at lunchtime. This evening we're busy getting things tied down or put away in our yard so they don't get washed or blown away over the weekend. Now, there's just that little problem of the 1/2 to deal with. I'll need all the luck I can get from the looks of it. See you later!
