Sign Rattling!

The wind was so strong today stop signs were rattling and shaking! Crazy!! It seemed like the wind was in my face the whole time, too!
I was worried about how the body would respond to the MP run today with the hip and leg soreness. Two 6 mile loops stopping at home once for a power bar and water.
Loop one-54:52.54 (first mile warm-up 9:54) -8:58's
Loop two-53:47.39-8:57's

I am pleased with this because I was hoping to string a bunch of 9's. A good effort. I feel good.The leg and hip is sore and tight. Took an ice bath. I think I may live! Now on to week two of the taper! Tomorrow off! Logged 32.6 miles this week. I will put in only 24 next week!
Good luck to all who are racing this weekend! Bob, Carlee, hope it goes well.
Peace!

      This is the most wonderful time of year! I love the heat and humidity! Yet I still get out earlier due to my advanced age! 4.4 miles! ...
