Notes
Cool, windy day out, like a good fall xc day. So I grabbed my xc buds and headed out for a long run (Otis, Rebel, Hazard, and Drew). My hamstrings were still very sore and back had been hurting all day, so I was glad to be given the lead and manage the pace. Turns out I was ready to go, even with an awkward stride at times. Found some new trails (or rather finally could connect 2 trails that I knew existed) and enjoyed taking the guys on "my" local trail system. Pace was quicker when on the bike paths but never felt strained and finished the 14 miles feeling about the same as when I started. Then on to basketball, Olive Garden, and Dairy Queen. Everything is just a bit better with a good group of running mates.
