Sunday 9
Lakeshore Trail Trek
LM and drills.
This was a different course from last year. It started and finished on Glendale and ran North using the Davis Ferry, Baker Hollow and Canal trails.
I ran the short race (6.4 miles) which turned around at Baker Hollow. I had planned to run the long race, but we had volleyball at 6:30 and I didn’t think my body would tolerate doing both.
The morning was cool (39 degrees) and just a gorgeous day for a race. I went out at an easy pace not knowing the course and what lay ahead. There was a pretty good climb at the golf course, which I walked. At the turn around I was the 9th overall male. I was able to catch and pass Timothy and another guy to finish just behind Justin. I was the 7th male, 4th masters, and 8th overall.
The great thing about the race was, it didn’t leave me feeling exhausted for the entire day. I was able to play volleyball.

Road Cycling
This was an easy greenway ride with an out and back down Union Valley Road. I only had 40 minutes, but it was worth it.

I'm on day 19 of no chips. The cravings are mostly gone. I had a significant test Tuesday of this week when Kristen and I went to one of our favorite restaurants, Don Gallo. The chips and salsa here are the best and typically we will consume 2-3 bowls of chips. I was able to abstain.
