"wherever I was going..."


"I was running!" Immortal words from my Hollywood soul character "Forrest Gump." Long shadows out there tonight for run speed workout. Nice warm-up as the temp was dropping with the sun. Little 5 * 1min hard followed by 3 * 10min hard (162, 160, 164beats per minute respectively). Not too shabby. Able to push pretty hard post time trial commute home from school.

Saw my buddy Layne X out there on the Rodota trail gettin his run workout on. Not only is Layne preparing for Ironman Florida but he does one mean Forrest Gump impersonation. Hence, the aforementiond Gump quote. After I saw Layne I started thinking about that movie. Remember when little Forrest busts outta those leg braces and dust those bullies chasing him??? Gets me every time. So that was what I was imagining when I was doing my third and final 10min effort. It's a good trick; you should try it. Works every time!

And you should have been there tonight for the full moon rising in a perfectly clear blue sky over Bennett peak. Amazing. That made all the work worth it. For sure.
