yeesh, Friday already

Biked Tues AND Wed, so much for 5 days trying to run.
Tued did 60 min on the bike at 2/3 level, Wed 36 min at 3/4 level. Still a good burn on the quads and a decent sweat.
Also on Wednesday I helped my Dad unload a pickup full of chicken manure compost...he was on the tractor, I was on the shovel. Now that lights up your already questionable lower back.
Hit the course late Thursday, this time I parked up at a different spot.
I figured I could get a better time by better course management, park at the last uphill, run up that when fresh, then all the way past the regular parking lot and around to the back.
Seemed to work great and got all the way around to the home stretch and met a friend of mine walking his dog.....so, do I blow by him and get my time? Uh, no, personal relationships are more important than a lap time of an old pudge. Had a good visit, still felt pretty good.
Today was 75+ for the first time in ages, so I finally downloaded a stopwatch program on my phone to keep more accurate times.
I started at the upper parking spot again, split 3:49 at normal parking/start spot, 10:55 at the hill, 19:01 at the fence, 31:36 total.
This of course puts me about exactly the same time as before, proving my course management theory full of chicken manure, which I still feel as I am writing this.
