Total Distance
20.00

12 mile run this morning. I slept in until 6 and didn't get out until 6:30 a.m and it felt great. Not to say that I felt totally fine after being so jacked yesterday but I felt way better. Actually I had some kind of 24-hour bug yesterday and spent much of the day asleep with medication working it's magic. 

Today was nice though. I went over into GS and the back up over the hill to the powerline trail and up to the water tank- up the road a little and then back around industrial and the long way home to make it 12 miles. What a nice morning out in the desert. I really need to get out there more. It's just relaxing and helps me be not so stressed about running and racing. Also not that summer is over by any means- but I could kind of see fall coming as the sun was coming up over the horizon this morning. We still have months of heat but it's nice to be on the downward slop of the beast.

8 miles tonight with the running club. Out and back from the store. I tried to keep the pace nice and slow to help recover but Abraham Lincoln was feeling frisky and kept trying to push things. It's nice out in this town after the sun goes down for the day.

You really need to think of running as a hobby have a know care attitude and I bet you'll fine you will run better. Stress causes issues in the nervous system that will hurt any type of activity.

Try to thing about your other priorities first like your family, work, and that will get your mind off the stress of running.

Clyde you have the talent to achieve your goals in running, and you will do that. Life is more important than to have running stress you out and bring you down.

Kory your right. I do try to stay involved with a lot of other things but sometimes I get a little too "involved" with running.

That's why I love running out on the trails in the desert so much. It really doesn't feel like I'm running. More like a nature hike or something.

Abraham Lincoln?

Good Run tonight! Thanks for the ride home. BTW - I really like nice "nature hikes" too. Dave was telling me about that one you and him took into the woods.

Jon- It's actually Steven Abraham Lincoln Hooper Pope but we've shortened it to save time and energy.

Steve-If Dave and I took a nature walk. Then I don't even want to go where you and the Wild Billy went- Bubble baths, burning incense and Enya... sounds pretty fruity to me?

Wait a minute... how did I get pulled into this?!
