It's the first Monday of the month, so at 5 I went down to Eugene Running Co for injury screening. Talked to this girl Anna who works there, from Wisco. Chatted for a bit but since I was mega-behind on paperwork, I snuck back to work to finish it, since there was no one there.

Came back at quarter til and the ERC running group was filing in. Talked to Danielle a bit, then introduced myself to Brad Hudson, who was in there working. Within like a minute, I somehow volunteered myself to run a road workout with Tera Moody, who's apparently on the World Champs marathon team: 14 miles at 5:40s. Eek. That was tough to swallow, given how tired I felt today.

As an act of contrition for pussing this whole weekend, I decided to try to be social and run with the ERC group. They're all pretty damn slow but I started out a run with 3 guys...one of whom is Steph's CURRENT BF! That was fun. I introduced myself (I knew his name already) and we ran together for about 6 miles. Two other douchers were with us, but they dropped the pace from 7:10 in the first (road) mile to a 6:38 on the trail, so we let'em go.

Chit-chatted a bit, but there were some quiet spells because we were both feeling like shit: my legs were garbage, and Nick was breathing pretty hard.

We finally parted ways back in the Alton Baker proper, and I crossed the bridge to add on. While on the South Bank trail I ran past Jeff, one of Sara/Matt's friends so I ran about a mile with him before turning back.

TOUGH run today: legs felt like GARBAGE and on top of that, I was fuel/hydration deficient. Peed mtn dew til bedtime. :|
