I'm definitely going to have to run at lunch time today.

My right eye healed a lot during the winter so that I was not getting the tearing of the cornea when I woke up - however last night I got a stabbing pain when I woke up - so had to get some lubrication in there and need to start doing that religiously each night at bedtime.

My legs are aching a lot today - but I think that is from a combination of the strength training on Wednesday and yoga last night (lot of leg stretching).

Walked the puppy before work.

 I took off work before noon today and rested in bed for a while.  Then I got ambitious around 3:00 and headed off to the mountains. Picked up Odee from Leslie's house and ran the pipeline trail with him to the end and back.  He was really struggling and needs to get back in shape - so I got in some pretty slow miles at the end trying to keep him motivated.  I took some cool pictures and will do a write-up tomorrow on my other blog - so check it out.

On the way back, just at the far edge of a rocky section, I caught a toe and did a lovely face plant.  Luckily I was through the rocks and fell on dirt - or it would have been a lot worse.  I will probably be stiff and bruised tomorrow - but my left elbow is the only area that really broke the skin.

I think you need to run with me on the Pipeline tomorrow. Harold is doing a 20 miler on his bike, trail is calling me back....

Sorry about your eye!

Thanks Aunty Maurine! Sorry you did a face plant. Let't go do it again tomorrow at 7:00am!

Nice job on the face plant! Thanks for sharing, it just made my day that I'm not the only one who falls off stuff while running :) I hope you're not sore....

STINKY!! Sorry about the face plant, but I'm glad it was on the dirt and not rocks!! Hope you get another good run in tomorrow and you're not too sore.
