Finally got a chance to go for a run, so ran at lunch time. It felt great even though it was close to 80 degrees. No music or watch. I just ran. 

Monday night I drove down to West Yellowstone to meet up with my family. A grizzly cub ran in front of my car on the way there. Very cool. Tuesday we saw the hot pots, Yellowstone Falls, and the kids swam in the Firehole River. We saw a nice herd of buffalo, a 6 point elk in velvet 30 yards from the road and about 200 head of elk across a valley. And some amazing views of Yellowstone Lake at dusk. Perfect light but no good camera so I didn't even bother. I just kept the picture in my memory. Nice little trip.

A tough double digit run which reminded me that I'm only 2 weeks post 34 mile run so not quite recovered yet. The run a couple weeks ago was at such a slow pace and I had very little post race soreness so I thought it hadn't affected me much. I guess it did a bit. This morning's run was hot for me but thankfully had a nice West breeze which helped. Went up my typical Saturday hill and I love this beast. I made it to the top without stopping but walked at the top where normally I keep going. Walked a few more times after that which is unheard of but makes sense. Glad to hit double digits so soon after a big mileage race such I normally don't do for a month afterwards. Hmmmm.
