April 18, 2009 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: mid-60s, AWESOME

Comments:
Woke up early to pack for K-Fest. Picked up Finch at 1000 and, after some errands, got to Kamp Kenwood just after noon. Unpacked and was running by about 1:15.

NICE RUNNING GROUP: me, Finch, TOPS, Mack, and Bert. We did a 7.5 loop to begin with, rolling several different trails. We started off easy, but the pace ratcheted down, thanks to TOPS and Bert, who knew they were going to bail at the end.

This SUCKED, however, because I was feeling shitty from the long week, particularly the 9-run plus 20-bike yesterday. I followed TOPS and Bert back to the cabin to deuce and grab some water, but mostly to avoid the hot pace that Mack and Finch were now locked into.

Back at the cabin, MOOSE was there, so he wound up running my "tack-on" with me. I felt A TON BETTER on the add-on, thanks to an easier pace and the hydration, which was key. We ran up the lake trail, which was the best of the park. Got back to camp with a good 12.5er.

K-Fest was pretty awesome. The food was a big hit, and Finch and I shared several terrific beers. Got to bed around 0100 after a nice fire outside...
