Lunch Run
Back to work and running. After a 3 day unplanned layoff it was a little 10Ker on the treadmill on my meal break. Left Knee and Right Upper Quad complained a bit. I always feel better and more fluid when ever I run on a daily basis.

Last long run before the LS100 + Why Gor-Tex Shoes are not always the best choice!
Headed out at noon today with Grant. Looking for around a 4 hour run with some challenges so we could "make it easy" and thats more or less what we did. -3C ,. Snow , Wind and Sun we had it all! Lost one layer today tying my Shell off around my waste before we started. Wore my non Gor-Tex Super Novas with toe socks then the "Gator" sock...this was an experiment. I love the Gator socks but I am worried about going 20 wet and cold hours in them, worried for blisters. The Toe Socks rock when it comes to protecting the digits. Feet got wet fast due to snow melting on the outside of the shoe. Feet were a we bit chilled but not really that bad. It was nice to keep 100% of the snow and what ever else I was kicking up out of my shoe. I am expecting a wet muddy LS100 so I want to keep all snow and rocks and what ever else out. The shoes drain well so what seeps in should exit... Gators socks and Toes socks are in for the LS100. Today we headed North on the 2nd looping ac cross the Holland / Glenelg towline the back down the Baseline Instead of heading to Grey Rd 12 we cut across a side road where I gelled and then picked up the 2nd again towards my place. Did a brief stop picking up another bottle of water and cookies. Then headed South on the 2nd to the Mc Cormick Rd over to hwy 6 then back across the Rocky side rd coming out at Edge Hill. Lots of added new hills today , a couple of K done on snow following snowmobile tracks. Finished feeling fresh like I had just started ready to bring on the LS100.
Gor-Tex shoes are not a;always the best choice. Great in the snow , great on wet grass or through small puddles. If you expect to submerge then then its not a good choice because they do not drain. Did a little demo to satisfy my self and also to sell me on which shoe I will be wearing at the LS100. Check it out ....

Mid 5 + 2014 Ultra "Theme Song"
5K@5am this morning. 2 more mids to go!
Surfing tunes this morning and came up with my 2014 Ultra "Theme Song" ....
Lyrics ...
"We're All In This Together"
It is such a drag, you're dressed in rags, everybody waving these faded flags, tongue tied a fire inside, caught like a deer in the headlights. Mine, mine, it isn't a lot so why try to take more than I got, more, more, we only want more, it's not what we came, for it's not what we paid for.
We're all in this together, so keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop We're all in this tougher, so keep moving don't stop, keep moving just go, go, go.
Every night I free fall into a dream, mirrored halls in the chrome machine, it's a phenomenon that goes on and on, saying it right but you're doing it wrong. Slow down you're going too fast now, a delicate dance take your foot off the gas now, don't try making it last now, sooner later you're a thing of the past.
We're all in this together, so keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop We're all in this together, so keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop. We may never be the same again, we may never be the same again, keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop, we may never be the same again, we may never be the same again keep moving don't stop, keep moving just go, go, go.
We are we are the angry apes, we don't want to look at no empty plates. We are we are the fire brigade, all we want to do is set the record straight. We are we are the first degree, we're the thief, we're the judge, we're the jury. We are we are the angry apes shake the fruit from the vine till there's nothing to take now.
It's a phenomenon that goes on and on, saying it right but you're doing it wrong, tongue tied a fire inside, caught like a deer in the headlights. Slow down you're going too fast now, a delicate dance take your foot off the gas now, don't try making it last now, sooner later you're a thing of the past.
We're all in this together, so keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop, we're all in this tougher, so keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop, we may never be the same again, we will never be the same again, keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop, we may never be the same again, we may never be the same again, keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop, keep moving just go, go, go.
