I think it had been about 17 years since I'd been out here, but it is only 10 minutes from Joey's house so I took an easy morning run here. Awesome place and would have liked to go back further but the trail was a little rough for my ankle. Great way to start the day

40 laps on the big 4-0. 

It was a nice morning - cool and a few drops of rain - but I was excited to this. Emily ran the first hour at the track and we did a few miles together. Nice when she can average 9 min miles and run with me. Quads got a bit tired at about mile 8 but I generally just enjoyed my time out there on the track. Dodged around the Special Olympics track practice, but it was inspiring if nothing else.

Later in the morning did 40 pushups.

Hope you can get healed up soon.

Hoka's are a trip. I tried them (albeit on a trail) and was not so sure. My wife has a pair and is so/so. But I know lots of folks who really like them, especially the Clifton.

From JohnR on Thu, May 28, 2015 at 23:09:10 from 65.129.35.225

Thanks Jeff. The Hokas are a last ditch attempt to try to stay injury free, or take up another form of exercise and activity. I hope they'll do the trick. It's not easy getting old...

Was at the cabin for a bit today, and ran from the Banks-Lowman highway up the forest service road that goes up Garden Mountain. The first 2 miles were way too steep for me (gained 1100 feet in all) and I had to walk a couple of times. It leveled out so the middle 2 miles were nice, but the last bit was too steep for good downhill running. Humbling, but a great afternoon to be out there.
