Originally intended a double loop of the reservoir but things were super sloppy and trails that used to be there (about 6-7 years ago) were just gone. So, the loop took longer than expected and Greg didn't have enough time for another. So, we used up what time he had left for 5 more muddy wet miles, then after he headed home I dragged myself through 5 more miles on the road. So, another ugly 20, but got it done.
Unlike last week though, didn't dehydrate the nonsense out of myself.
Ended with some soreness in the left hamstring down by the knee, nothing major though.

Crazy windy ride AGAIN. Broke away from the sketchy group with one other guy though and actually had a great workout. Ran down quite a few stragglers from the group in front of us.

Observations for the day:
1)Altras do not shed water well. Multiple flooded spots throughout run (including paved trails) so couldn't avoid the water and damn those things get heavy when wet. Actually switched to the road Altras when running by the house at around 7 miles in. Then go those wet too.
2)Although not fast, the new post surgery altered running stride is making it far easier for me to run long distances without taking a beating. Will never be a runner, but I can at least run better. Still a lot of work to do in the hips.
3)Don't think I'll ever be in the mix for a 2 hour marathon.
