I just got back from the best run I've had by far!

Well this is scary... mid-week runs are now up to 5 miles. Great countryside run today on an old towpath along the River Barrow near the B&B. Nothing super exciting although all the locks were pretty neat (and I really wanted desperately to stop and try and switch one, it almost looks like they're still used - P.S. THEY ARE, see the links). A little bit of navigational confusion and a guess at the distance between the drop-off and pickup point resulted in the run not being the smoothest. But fun none the less.

Yesterday I was flying out to Folsom to return to my former internship for another summer. From a running/training standpoint I'm super excited to be returning to the excellent bike paths Folsom has and just can't wait to return to a stable and hopefully complete training schedule. I decided to delay my run a day because despite how much fun I would have running up and down a Southwest plane 233 times (i.e. 466 plane lengths*) I'm pretty sure if I had done that I'd still be siting in a windowless room with the last legal incandescent bulb in California dangling over my head.

So I'm playing around with notification of new entries (besides RSS) such as auto-tweeting posts.

Down in the bay area for the weekend visiting friends, man it's great to not have to run right at dawn to beat the heat. Had a great run along the bay http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/i87EUqDRsKg and made it all 13 miles. And it couldn't have come at a better time: it feels great to thumb your nose at the withdraw deadline.
