More training

Will the madness never end?

Yesterday I wore the boots and walked the dogs about 2.5 miles. They felt good on the walk, although I need to get used to how heavy they feel. And, of course, the pants are not light either. What a change from what I'm used to!

I didn't feel any hot spots, didn't feel any rubbing (of course I was wearing thick wool socks which I'm not planning on doing again since I'm not going to wear them on the race), they felt flexible enough. What else do I need to look for? I've done the mud run, but never in Boots & Utes.

I am planning on hiking to either First Water or Orchard on Saturday. The Forest Service said those trials opened today so my plan is to be up there while Dave runs 8 miles with the Rouge Racers :)

Can't wait for Oct 17 so this madness is over with. But we may do City of Angels Half on Dec 6th. ARGGG Oh the madness.
