Easy run around the lower part of Manette, mostly switchbacks around Shore Drive. I didn't take a week off for any good reason, just a mix of being lazy and distracted and intimidated by some rainy days. I know I'm not supposed to let that happen, but it does happen. It felt good to run again though, hopefully I get back in a little routine to maintain a little fitness through the fall and winter. I've decided not to run that half marathon, my training really fell apart on me and it'd be useless to do it now.

Don't worry, plenty of people over here are taking this week off.

I would really like to come and run run the North/West Ragnar relay next year. Paul, Jon and I were talking about it earlier in the year. I am going to keep training a bit too. I might take a couple of my boys to the Foot Locker Western Regionals in December, so I will train with them. Other than that I will cut the miles, have fun, and maybe start lifting some weights. I hope to build on this year with a better season next year.

I live for the day that 4 miles is lazy.
