Run warm up/down 1:00:00 [2] shoes: Inov-8 Mudlcaw 330 August 2009
The time from and to Oak Grove. On the way to the Sheepfold I considered a variation in the route, searching for the elusive "Northwest Passage," but this may be a fool's errand.

Nice run with Brendan (who was almost late enough that I was considering alternative plans.) The prodigal son was absent.
I kept a firm pace on most of the uphills, easy on some of the flats, and tried to go down briskly. I continue to be acutely aware of my downhill deficiency so I spent a lot of the second half of the run concentrating on form, foot placements, and agility. It is easy to run stylishly when you are not racing, but I hope that by working on it, I may be able to race stylishly as well.
