Easy Miles

Got in a great 38 mile run today. Had 4 friends come out with me for different parts of it so I was only running alone for about 7 miles. It's amazing how much mentally easier a long run can be when you get some people to run with you. I have plenty of things I could have spent the 5 plus hours trying to weed through in my mind, but it was kind of nice to get away from my own thoughts for a bit and just enjoy the company of others. I'm glad I don't do most of my running with other people but it has been nice lately to have the thoughts of others help chew up some of the mileage.

  1. Geoff,

    Great to see you're getting in the miles. Assuming you get into WS (and I think that's a pretty safe bet) I'd love for you to join me as well as Erik Skaden, Graham Cooper and a few others for a 48 miler on the WS Course on Memorial Day weekend. We can connect after Miwok (I won't be there, rather I'll be running 52 miles on the WS course that day)

  2. It was fun to run into you in Juneau. Talk about a small town. Good luck with your running races this year. I'll be following vicariously.
