          Just a dude.

            I'm in again. I'm kinda wanting to stick with the same training I've been doing because it has been doing well for weight loss. If I can get rid of 30-40 more pounds I'll be in a good place to take it up a notch I think. Kinda looking at August for some kind of goal race, and then do some cross country stuff. Maybe get frisky with the college kids...

             

            Anyway, that's kinda the plan at the moment. We'll see how things go.

            Well, I got a leg that's just been wonky, so I think backing off is probably the smartish thing to do. Hopefully next week goes a bit better...

                      the long run on Sat was not a planned workout,

                      but more of an adventure run in SF, across the Golden Gate

                      and in the hills on the other side
