Scott had an awesome meet today, came in 27 out of 72.  Time to be posted Wednesday hopefully.  His first race using the vibram 5 finger shoes.  H said they were great, but had some soreness after the race.  May be using muscles he did not when wearing shoes.  I may have to try a pair, they are certainly getting a lot of hype.  Here is a bad video from my ancient cell phone of the start of the race:

Just back from a trip and took a run about Pineland, just 3 miles.  Got lost briefly but it was a nice day for a run.  saw no one on the trails.
Caught this fellow on my trip--

Big race Saturday at Pineland 5k trail race.

Ran some trails with the pacer lab who lagged behind until free from the leash, and then ZOOM.  Lots of stops for smells and streams, mostly for the lab.  With all this rain we had to turn back at one stream crossing with the water too high.  Logged in 2 miles.  Scott remained inside to do homework and computer thingys.

Awesomeness extremish

Wow, Scott hit the treadmill today-- Treadmills were historically used as a method of reforming offenders in prison, an innovation introduced by Sir William Cubitt in 1817.; these were also termed treadwheels. Click here: More history!  This was really the first time looking to do a serious run.  His goal was a 5k and he went just shy of 3.5 miles.  Looked amazing with his relaxed strides and determined attitude.  It was fun to watch him go.  I have to remind myself that he is not a little boy anymore and is capable of really cranking some nice runs.
I am one proud dad!
I did an easy 2 miles next to him with a few inclines, then we tossed a few hoops.

Road work

New sneakers meant a 1.5 mile slog on pavement.  That was definitely tougher on the knees, not much give on the asphalt.  I like the sneaks, asics.
I've been reading a lot about David Goggins.  An interesting man, complicated in many ways.  Definitely a relentless athlete and human being.

Meet day tomorrow for Scott if the rain holds off, hopefully he will have some fun and get a good race in.

Pineland 5k in 11 days?  Wow, I need to go ice my knees...

Ran 2.5 m in the rain and the mud and the muck.  Tripped over a root at 2 miles and went a%$ over tea kettle.  Jenny the pacer dog came back and sniffed my muddy countenance.

Overall an excellent run!!!  I love trails.
