Buddy Run at Rancho

Tonight I went to the buddy run at Rancho and I thought I was feeling pretty good. The group was setting off for a pretty aggressive workout but I said to myself I will run for an hour and that's it.

I was fine until I started running.

Someone attached bricks to the bottom of my legs when I wasn't looking. The first 30 minutes of the run were awful. My shins were tight and my knees hurt and I wasn't feeling like I was getting warmed up at all.

I finally got to the farm and stretched. I figured I would only run for a total time of 45 to 50 minutes. I headed out Rogue trail and was still feeling stiff and sore. I guess I am sore from the workout on Tuesday and all those hills. I finally made it to the bottom of the big hill on the trail and at 30 minutes I headed back.

I finally was feeling warm and ran back to the parking lot. I ran the whole way back and didn't stop at the farm. I didn't stop until I hit the bridge at the parking lot. 23 minutes back.

Boy I am tired!
