It ain't Chinese algebra!

After not running for 2.5 weeks, I felt like......BLAH.  But that's to be expected.  It felt like I was running for the first time in 6 months!  My body has felt trashed since the Portland marathon and in addition, I've had a pain in the ball of my right foot as well.  The issue in my foot is still there, but after overeating the past 10+ days, I was dying for a run.

6 miles before the dreaded teleconference.  The news wasn't good.  Again.  It's 2008 all over again.  Looks like the weekend started a couple days early!  Perhaps a good trail run tomorrow near OHSU is in order.

Awesome run!  I drove up Boones Ferry rd to a forest/park near Lewis & Clark College for a refreshing trail run.  It hasn't rained in a couple days, so the trails were relatively dry.  Also, with it being a mid-day run, I had the trails to myself.  It's great being 5 minutes from downtown Portland yet feel like your hours away from anyone.  It would be great to run here again...who knows?  Maybe I'll make it a monthly treat.  We'll see.

Cumulus (567)

9 miles before helping Dave Solomon move.  It was a little chilly but not too bad.  My foot feels pretty good but overall my body feels tired.  I clearly lost some fitness by not running for 15+ days and eating like garbage.  So it goes.
