Tempo

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

You gotta love a guy who wasn't afraid to tell people his middle name was Waldo.

Not a lot to report, tempo run today.  Things went well.  (Thanks Carol for the H2O!)  I have been running off the beaten path a little lately.  Today I did the tempo portion of my run in the cemetery.  It was quiet and relaxing.  Lots of trees.  Last Sunday I ran a mile and a half on the railroad tracks.  It wasn't as fun as I thought it might be.  If I could have lowered the crossing arms as I went past, it may have been more fun.  It was a little too uneven to really enjoy any kind of change of scenery.
Anyway, I think I am going to rest tomorrow since the Valpo Tri is on Saturday.  It should be fun.  My main man Ben and his lovely, pregnant wife have graciously allowed me to crash on their couch.  I have been biking some, so I hope to best my last years time...we'll see.

    Maybe a swim in Ava's lake tomorrow would be good training - I hear the creatures already fed on some drunken July 4th revelers, so you should be safe.

    Alcohol...a lake...and nudity no doubt (with Jeff involved :P )!
