*looks around*
anyone still here?
i am. not as often, but i am. just got back from a biz trip to la la land, where i'd hoped to run along the beach of santa monica, redondo or hermosa. but the best i could muster given the time was a lovely bike ride from redondo to hermosa with stacey, where we plopped down for a spell in front of the ocean and watch the earth do it's sun, sand, water and tide thing.
i've been having good runs and not so good runs. the not-so-good ones usually involve side aches and heavy legs. sometimes i fartlek those and walk. i'm fine with that. i know there will always be another run, another opportunity for a good run. like last night. great run. late evening summer sun, cool air - the smell of family barbecues everywhere. the only drawback - bugs. clouds of them. i was inhaling them at an alarming rate. i felt like a baleen whale swimming through krill. poor things would just slam into the back of my throat and summarily be either violently coughed up or humanely swallowed. a few poor souls got stuck in the sticky no pest strip that was my lip balm. ah well, a hazard of the season.
hot weather coming up. 90+. heather doesn't run in hot weather. this should be interesting.

Welcome back. I don't wanna work, I just wanna bang on these drums all day.
drums?? i don't hear no freakin' drums...?
I'm here. Nice reference on the whale, although I haven't run into the swarms yet. I'll be on the lookout. You still on for the trail run? I'm keeping Cascade Run-Off in the back of my mind. Not planning on pushing it though. Trying to run once a week or so, and it would be just another run. It's summer. Time to relax and not worry about being VERY EARLY for anything. Sorry Boof. This from a guy that got up at 6:30 AM this morning just because it felt like time to get up. More like dad every day?
yup still on the trail run. will make a decision on the cascade run-off after and be a late entry.
the VERY EARLY i believe was meant for those of us who stayed up late the night before stargazing in the meadow and didn't pack until, well, everyone else was ready to go. yeah, um, sorry 'bout that! we promise to be better this time!
