Today I had a great run. I had taken a couple of days off and was still feeling lazy this morning. But I had gotten a good nights sleep and I awoke this morning thinking about going for a run. So first thing, no bathrobe, no sweats, I just jumped into my cold weather running gear and poured myself a coffee. I usually have an emergen-C with my coffee before a run, this time I tried something different. I mixed my creatine into it and drank it before my run. I am nor sure if it made a difference or not, but it was a great run. Every opportunity I had to extend my run I took, so I ended up going 9.5 miles and felt great afterward.

One surprise that confronted me was a huge tree that had fallen down over the trail in the canyon. It must have been about 5 feet wide. So I doffed my parkour hat and didn’t let it stop me. I climbed up the thing and hopped down to continue on my way. The folks with the reed grounds crew will probably cut a path for the trail, but I almost wish they wouldn’t, it was sort of fun climbing over it.

I did tweak my ankle a couple of times, one I thought was going to be really bad but after a few minutes of walking it off it was fine and I continued on my way. I probably should have walked home from there, but it felt so good and the run was going so well that I just kept going.

All this after taking rebif last night too.
