I envy you though because I was not able to run at all.....a tough run is better than no run any day!<BR/><BR/> I agree this adventure can only make you much stronger and you should view it as a great training effort.pathfinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05064923768168080475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212427032459949009.post-69200119012870788852009-04-13T07:55:00.000-04:002009-04-13T07:55:00.000-04:00Hi Dan, It was good seeing you at N.N!

It's good mental training to get through a struggle like that. I hope you have blue skies and sun for Blue Hills. Don't know how I missed the Mike and Ikes, I love those things!Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280988022460450306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212427032459949009.post-63561072721406678202009-04-12T23:25:00.000-04:002009-04-12T23:25:00.000-04:00We were thinking of you at Merrimack Dan! It was ...We were thinking of you at Merrimack Dan! It was just one of those classic New England Spring days that should be outlawed! I am fighting a cold too because I also took the minimalist approach to gear. Sounds like an interesting course, too bad the adventure was just raw!

I am glad you had someone to run with for awhile, too! You built dome good mental durability on this one! Oh my, the course looks challenging (like steeper DRB?) yet a but glum (in your pix) with the rain. Icky Sudz on the slippery roots. You had your share of mud in CT! I love the moss photos...I have that thing about moss, you know. finally, I am glad you landed on your rear end of all the possible options.Trail Pixie (2)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17837443645556419711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212427032459949009.post-13655963226798527672009-04-12T20:09:00.000-04:002009-04-12T20:09:00.000-04:00Oh, Dan, sorry the run was a sucker!

On the bright side, it sounds like you got to meet some great runners, and I have no doubt that this run has made you stronger and more prepared for what's ahead this season (think Wapack)! Don't sweat it! I bet you'll rock Blue Hills! AnaRunning and livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057835870342142162noreply@blogger.com
