Comments:
Slept in, slightly, at Adam's, packed up and had breakfast with him and Amy, then left around 9ish. Stopped for a coffee in downtown, then did the long drive south to mom's.

Worked a bit at the house, then went for a run, before everyone arrived.

Felt...pretty dang solid! ALL the damn shoes I have at mom's either suck or are too small! Damn the too-small adidas from last year! The only ones with a roomy length & toe box (that weren't heavy, mud-caked Trail N2s) were my OLD-ass Montrail Rogue Racers for '11 ! LOLZ! So I wore 'em!

Ran south, intending to do a big loop on the Kinni Trails, but I got about 2m on them and they were overgrown "AF", so I ran up the main trail to Birch Cliff and popped out on the road.

From there, I continued on the south-end of this classic loop on country roads, up the back end of this ridge-butte, up and over some nice little trails, then into a housing development by the HS.

Had to drop a deuce, so found a porta in another tract...then went to RFHS to barefoot run! The midwest grass is so much nicer than either soaked or dead west coast grass. Did about 1.5 miles truly barefoot, then ran home, via campus.

Felt pretty gassed - with sore feet (from the lack of cushion, and yesterday's fatigue) - in the last mile.

Rest of the day
- Uncle rode his motorcycle down, hung out for a couple hours
- sis and family came over later
- ate a TON of good food, including Steve's Pizza and polish!

PM:
- went to Max's...met his new GF, Tiffany. UGH. NOT GOOD. Like Britt...but 10x worse...
