Eddie as Elvis @ the Del Mar Mud Run

A new route - a fresh outlook

We ran 8 miles with a new route today-field trip! The weather was damp and foggy along the coast. Running across the 5 freeway ramp was bizarre but worth it since saw pelicans perched atop wooden rafts on the way back. I felt thankful to be running outside. We got lost towards the end. Who knows? We could have ran 9 miles today. Eddie had the mondo burito (again) for breakfast, and I had the most delicious wheat pancakes. What a great day! Looking forward to 9 next week!

Beaten Up By the 7

We did 7 miles along the coast today. It was more challenging than we anticipated with a few surprising hills. This was the toughest run to date. Eddie suffered a scrape on his heel from a rock in his shoe. I had muscle spasms. We won't be moving anywhere quickly today, but we can rest knowing that we gave it our all. I realize we really need to step up our training during the week to tackle these long runs. Right now, I am on top of the world from a good breakfast, a shower, and a heat pad.
