Mon
pm (:20) Happy St. Patrick's Day! Very easy run on road to shake out legs. Enjoyed the last of our Guinness last night, so had none for St. Patrick's Day :( Oh well. As it's part of our training diet anyhow, not as big of a treat.
Tue
pm (:40) Relaxed run on road and Cat tr East to Boundary Road. Footing good. Nice to be back on the trails. At least one person must have seen my training log yesterday as Sara brought home Guinness for our post-St. Patrick's Day dinner :). Winter sleeping bag arrived today, so all packed and ready to leave for Rock and Ice on Thursday.
Wed
