8 Mile Run

I kept putting this run off because it was freezing Saturday morning, literally and we had to leave by 9:30 for the game. Sunday morning was in the thirties too, so I decided to wait til late afternoon. Dressed in my cold gear compression and a jacket, I set out. By mile 1 I was pulling up my leggings. I find if my ankles can get air I stay cooler. Mile 2 my jacket came off and mile 5 I pulled up my shirt so my stomach could get air. Guess it's not quiet cold enough for long clothes yet. I felt great the whole time! I know it's not my usual race time, but it's better than the 13 minute mile I've been averaging.

Since this was my first long run and I ran faster than normal, I decided to take an ice bath. It keeps my muscles from being sore or should I say as sore the next day.

While trying to duck under the trees, so our heads didn't get knocked off, we both leaned too far and there we went. Luckily everything was in dry bags and tied down. Well, almost everything. Kev was trying to put his phone back into the dry box but didn't get to it fast enough. His phone got wet, but seems to work ok after sitting in a bag of rice for a few days. I didn't have my shoes strapped tight so they slid off. A friend in front of us managed to grab one shoe and one paddle. We carefully walked the canoe across the rapid and dumped the water out. I will admit I was pissed off about my shoe. I didn't talk to Kev for awhile. I know it wasn't his fault, but I wanted to be mad at someone. He promised he would replace th
