Comments:
Spent the morning cleaning up and eating; got in one last soak. Legs felt OK but the BACK was sore - not as bad as last night. I determined that when my R hip flexors (connected to the lumbar spine) are stiff, they make it worse, so once I stretched those out, I felt a ton better.

Went to Depoe to work on some things, then got to the track early to stretch before Tyler showed up. We ran from the track, along the canal; thought about looping around to Robie to finish that way, but I was SOOO TIRED! On top of that, Tyler was pace-pushing to begin with, which sucked: took the long way out, getting on some trail below the overlook before getting on the canal.

By the time we got back to the HS, I was shot. L knee was a teeny bit sore. So no Robie.

Post-run: gave Tyler a ride back to his parents' house and got in a knee/lower leg soak in the canal, which runs next to their backyard. Showered up there, then met a big, fun group of folks at the ale house:

- Tropical John and Lisa
- Denise B
- Monkey Boy
- Thornleys: Craig, Laurie; brother Chris
- The Queen
- Princess and Kim

Fun time, but I got tired near the end of the evening...and the dread was building for Saturday!
