Ran Sleeping Giant with Stephen (cousin and Tough Mudder team member) today.  We went around the mountain x 1 and up to tower and down x2 for 6.13 miles with 1,737 feet of vertical.  As always, this is an excellent run.  I fell once –little blood – not much.  No worries, this is good!  This is an excellent run for Tough Mudder preparation I suspect.  Next week, we will do the Tim Werner Sleeping Giant circuit – which is an additional up to tower and down portion.  

Again, took breaks.  The average pace was 13:19 but the average moving pace was 12:01.  And if you are thinking this is slow, well hey, not a speed run (from a numbers perspective).  The sweat was pouring off me and the heart was racing – this is usually a good indicator that work is being done.  The first half mile is always like a half mile I have never run before…UPHILL MAN!  But the entire run is all uphill and downhill.  There is no flat!  

Post run: Stephen and I make a bet.  First one to smoke loses the bet.  From now until the Tough Mudder, we cannot smoke.  So I am going for 35 days.  I am a bit competitive so let’s see who wins this thing.  I am thinking now that we both might not smoke.  But we’ll see.  I obviously need to do something a little different than what I had been doing (picked smoking back up Monday and continued smoking until today)!  So you got it…DAY ONE (again).  Hey I’ll get there.  The journey is becoming much more interesting.    

FIVE WEEKS AND MUDDER IS HERE!
