Perhaps it wasn't that dramatic, but it was a nice group run at the Cathance River Nature Preserve with a band of Trail Monsters. A good sized group came up to our neck of the woods at the suggestion of Scott, whom we'd never met, and he led us on a winding route through the Mt. Ararat trails to the Cathance River trails. I've run out there a number of times, but he added a couple pieces I wasn't as familiar with. It was good to see things from a different perspective. All in all, it was a great run on a cold morning. D and I ran home after the run, and with our sweaty hats we both had ice cream headaches due to the wind. Luckily that was brief, and I made a tasty breakfast, which made everything better.
Solid week for me, about 32 miles. I have to admit, I only had 3 weeks with more mileage than that during my marathon training, so I'm feeling pretty good about where I am right now. I'm good at running slow, a point which will no doubt be proven next week at the Feaster Five. Looking forward to it anyway.
I keep forgetting to mention that after the Blackstrap Adventure, I lost the toenail on the toe. So, now, instead of a black toenail, I have black quasi-skin where the toenail used to be. So, I still have 5 black toes, but only 4 black toenails. I know how interested you all are in my toes, so I wanted to keep you abreast of the situation.

HEY THANKS SNOWMAN FOR THE EXTRA CARE YESTERDAY AT THE TRAIL RUN. IT IS GREAT TO SEE AN AVID RUNNER LAG BEHIND JUST TO HELP A LESSER RUNNER FROM GETTING LOST. YOU SEEMED TO FIND A WAY TO KEEP ME IN YOUR SIGHTS (SO I COULD SEE YOU).....I REALLY DO APRECIATE THE HELP.
Hey Kevin. Good to see you out there yesterday, and I didn't mind staying back at all. Those trails can get pretty tricky, as a lot of it looks the same...I know I've been lost there, so I didn't want you to end up lost, too. Plus, by staying back, I got to hang with the ladies!
