Tested out my new shoes today.  It's amazing how you forget what cushioning feels like after running nearly 1100 miles on one pair of shoes.  It was very comfortable.  Just took it easy today.  Hoping to get another big week in this week.  I feel great!

NEW BLOG TITLE

Burt will be very appreciative to know that he is responsible for the inspiration.  Go here.  I should probably grow my beard again so I can be in character.

Long run up Green Canyon.  Single track is almost all the way clear to the Yurt, minus a couple of stretches on sections 3 and 5 (on the north facing side of the canyon).  Also, there is a nice little stream flowing down the upper part of the canyon.  Never seen that before.  The amount of snow in these mountains is unbelievable. 6 miles were at Tinman pace coming down the canyon and into town.

Got up at 10:30 this morning.  I feel like a slug.  But it was because I stayed up til 2:30 watching the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie after my old roommates talked me into it.  I was actually pleasantly surprised.  Not a bad movie at all.  Definitely the best one of the franchise since the original.  And it was the first 3D movie I've ever seen.  Pretty cool.  Anyway, after lounging around the rest of the morning and eating I got out on the run.  Felt absolutely horrible the first 3-4 miles, but then felt really good after that.  During the first part I was going to cut it to 8 instead of my planned 12, but I ended up splitting the difference and going 10 after I started feeling better.  Could have gone 12, but didn't figure the extra 2 miles was worth it after the first 4.  Not a bad run.

Wow...what a day.  Got to bed at 1 AM last night, then had to get up at 6:30 to get on the run by 7.  Ran up Prov Canyon to the Quarry.  That's the farthest I've been up that canyon (not counting running across the top for Logan Peak or Leetham Hollow).  It was a beautiful morning for it.  There were still a few clouds clinging to the peaks around, and there was a little waterfall coming down the cliffs and the view into the valley was spectacular.  And there was that piney smell that only happens at high elevations.  It was very refreshing.  I can't wait for the snow to melt more so I can go on more runs like that.  It is melting steadily.  I got about half a mile further this week than two weeks ago.  I spent the rest of the day hauling furniture and other stuff around for some friends who were moving into their first house, then went to work until 10:30 PM.  Needless to say, I'm pooped.
