saturday's run...

so i went back to the same loop i did easter morning. this time in the afternoon after all hope of me get back to my school work was gone. yesterday was not a productive day for the homework. 16 credits sucks. i think i am ready to be done with school for now...that is not to imply forever...the Phd still remains on the horizon. back to running...yesterday i brought the dreaded watch along. i hate this thing. it just makes me realize how poorly i am doing at times. but i clocked the loops in 31:02. i think i mentioned last time that the loop is 3-4 miles. i tried to gmap it and i believe it is now closer to 3 miles than 4. maybe i should bring a string to the map and trail head and measure it that way...like we measure the perimeter of things back in math class. either way...it gives me a time to measure myself against and track progress or lame excuses for slowing down.

also i would try to get on some trails before Xterra...dodging roots and rocks while navigating hills, etc. is quite tricky. i run this trail frequently (i hate running on the road) and i still manage to trip up on at least one rock or root. here is a link to trail running 101 website.
