It's Sunday evening and my legs feel wrecked. I found myself walking slower then normal and thinking about sleep while I went to Capital Iron to look at everything from camping to kitchen ware and everything in between. But especially the kitchen and bakeware. I like that stuff! Really though my legs are just sore because I did the Gunner Shaw XC yesterday. a 10km running race on some rolling terrain with some good puddles. The race started well and I realized that it was going to take me about 40min which is longer then I have ran continous in at least the last 4 weeks maybe longer. Anyways the race went well and I was running in 7th for the majority of it but with a few km to go my ligaments started hurting and I figured a running race just wasn't worth an injury so I eased up and finished 13th. Apparently a bunch of runners were telling me that this course is a long 10k...well I don't know how 10k can be shorter or longer because the math I grew up with a kilometre is a kilometre and it doesn't change. Regardless I had a time of 40:34 and was happy with my new PB for a 10k. Thats right it's my first ever 10k and maybe my last time keeping track of these things because I really prefer PB on toast with honey...
Training is going well though and I had a good mountain bike ride today waking up at 7am and eating a couple pieces of toast with peanut butter and honey and then pedalling for 3.5 hrs in the rain and mud, a typical Sunday and an enjoyable one!
Next weekend I am going to do the Jaun de Fuca trail with Tom and I'm really looking forward to it! More on that next week and some photos!

Hey Daniel,
Juan de Fuca trail is a blast, I did it one February about ten years ago and I think I was the only one out there, other than the surfers at Sombrio beach.
Are you coming back up for Christmas? Maybe we should plan for an ice race.
Ah yeah, the short shorts... about those...
