Got new tires for my road bike for my birthday (so I wouldn't get a flat anymore).  I decided I had better be nice to my body for a few days to let it recover.  Biking is the key to recovery.  Only problem was my tube kept trying to escape out of the new tire.  I only made it 3.75 miles before the first incident.  I was able to make it home and fix it and head back out.  It worked fine for 8 more miles before the same problem occurred.  I was only 3 miles from home, but it only took 100 meters of tire rubbing against the fork before I got a pinch flat.  Grrr.  Once again, I was left stranded.  

Oh, and my legs are still sore. They feel like I ran a 50K.

PM: Short run to see if I still can.  I ran to my sisters house, ate a bowl of ice cream, ran home.  Legs are REALLY tired, but the soreness is mostly gone. 3.5 miles

Green Canyon with Joe-

Things were almost back to normal with today's run.  Still tired, but soreness is all gone finally.  Leg was still achy but actually felt better on the downhill than the uphill (weird).  Green Canyon is always a great route.  Good times...

T-1:21 (8:05) 1400' vert

Man am I tired.  I have not been nice to my body lately.  I mean, I tried this week.  Its a cutback week, but that doesn't keep me from punishing myself on a Saturday afternoon.  I spent a sleepless night on a fathers/sons camping trip.  We went to bed late, got up early, hiked all over then I dropped him off at home (it was a great trip) and I met up with joe for an afternoon of fun.

About the run...

We ran up a sweet trail.  We hiked some.  We lost the trail under snow drifts.  We found the trail.  We ran all but the snowy sections of North Syncline.  We walked up the uphills.  I sat on a rock and cried.  Joe took a nap cause he was bored.  A scary animal was stalking us (although we never saw it).  I took lots of pictures.  I suddenly felt better for the downhills.  I love the mountains.  I love the daffodils.. I am so glad I don't live back east in say....South Carolina.

T- 4 hours of movement.  5500' vert. 18.5 miles or so
