Thurs

Just what the doctor ordered. Had been suffering from a serious lack of power going up short hills. And today's Sunrise Strider workout was 12 x 60 seconds up BFNH in Bear Creek Park. Still getting crushed by all the roadies in the group, but I'll be up to par before too long. 90 minutes, 10.1 miles. Wanna give a special thanks to the dickhead equestrian peeps for allowing the trails to become covered in horse shit.

Went to a talk on barefoot running last night, sponsored by the CRC. I consider myself fairly active in the running community down here, but holy crap I think I only saw one or two folks who I knew last night. They had a few docs, PT folks, and a guy from New Balance there. Of course, those people couldn't match the knowledge of a few in the crowd who had read "Born to Run" and been inspired to go out and run a six or seven hour marathon. There was one lady there who kept going on and on about her eight year old son, I swear she thinks the biggest problem facing today's youth is the lack of a good barefoot running shoe for young people.
