A couple photos from the Tackle The Tower Event Last Weekend.

Murray was so fast they had a hard time getting him in the frame.

I got up this morning a little tight but not too bad.  I think I stayed up too late watching the WEC Fight Night and watch a few sweet fights and knock outs.  I hit the foam roller for a little bit and got dressed and ready to go.  

When I started, it was pretty sunny and about 50 degrees so I dressed down going gloveless, and rolling with a buttpack with 2 bottles of water a zone bar and bags of power beans, and also a hand bottle with water.  All was good and my pace felt smooth.  I was running for the first time with these new Brooks Cascadia trail shoes.  They felt great.  I was going to go for 30 miles and had it mapped out and the roads looked nice with soft grass and trails everywhere.  I was feeling great and about 6 miles into it, it started to rain which was too shocking and I was prepared for that.  But shortly after that, it dropped down about 20-25 degrees and that I was not prepared for.  I ended up doing 16.5 miles and cutting my trip in half due to being so cold I was jackhammering.  It pretty much snowed (wet, icy, and sticky) till I got home and is still snowing as I stare out the window wanting to find the weather guy on tv kick him in the shin for getting the weather completely wrong.  How do you go from partly sunny all day to effing snowing for 2 1/2 hours.  

Besides all that, I actually kept in the pose/chi position and the midfoot striking felt good in the new shoes with the laces only coming undone once.

Total Miles: 16:57

Time: 2hrs 24minutes, nice and slow.
