A day spent with a weed-eater in hand working out in Reimers Ranch on some running trails. It was a hot hot day, but it was fun to help put the finishing touches on the trails that will be used for next week's trail race. I'll be out there running too, and can't wait to go do three 10km loops on trails I helped build. It'll also be fun since it's a brand new course and pretty much nobody knows what to expect. I could give you a mile by mile description of it, but I'll instead keep that valuable information to myself and let you discover the trails on race day.
We also ran almost the entire loop before we started working on our assigned sections, then hopped into the pedernales river, noodle in hand and floated around for a good hour to hour and a half to cool off and relax.
This morning, after sleeping for about 10.5 hours last night I met up with some of the regulars and some not-so regulars but welcome additions(Meredith and guest from Boston) for 9.2 miles. Decided to run an abridged version of the Turista and commented on some of the sites around town. Hopefully I didn't shut everyone up, or bore everyone to tears. Regardless, we got the distance in, and we then happily soaked and cooled off in the very busy and crowded Barton Springs.
I bet next Monday will be a different story, when all the Coeur D'Alene Ironman people won't be in town.
Interesting sighting of the day: Apparently there's an amateur waterpolo team training in Barton Springs now?? I've decided to name the "Team Coccoon".
Can't wait for my 8-10 greenbelt miles tomorrow.
