Stagecoach + Clementine w/BGD, Queen

February 21, 2014 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: almost 70, sun

Comments:
Pretty good day: slept in, then had some coffee/tea and hung out with Sara and SadeZ - such a great pair of ladies! Then went to StarbZ and hung out with BGD 'til 1PM.

Had an "off" feeling all day: the lost momentum on a lot of fronts:

- Running: inside and out, not feeling great
- Chels: her losing faith in me, and...me in her?

Felt OK going into the run, but also very conscious of what I needed to do...and in some respects dreading the run: running, then hurting (inside and out).

But it was hard to be in bad spirits when:

- running in Los Canyones of the Confluence
- running shirtless in 70F!
- running with BGD and the Queen

EASY run: super easy down Stagecoach, then across and up to Clementine. I was hyper-vigilant about two things: going easy, and "being stable" on my left leg. Had to really thing about "It's ALLLL in the hips!"

Went SUPER-easy on the climbs at the end, including lots of walks, to keep the HR under 130ish.

Finished, and felt pretty good! No back pain! Had some gut rot but otherwise it was a solid run.

Had beers and snacks post-run at the Cool BrewWERRRKS, and talked about crappy sponsors, mostly. Good perspective from Queen. After that, headed back to BGD's for some chow and more good convos. I had a lot to get off my chest, about me and Chels, and BGD was key for that.
