Easy 8

Ran a nice and relaxed 8 miles or so in the metro park yesterday on an out and back, starting at the small parking lot at Mastick (start area of the 5K XC race they have there) and going in the direction towards Berea. Normally I run the horse trails at Mastick but it was pretty muddy from recent rain and the last thing I wanted to do was twist and ankle or something this week. Overdressed a bit because of the light rain but I wasn't too uncomfortable. As I type this I feel pretty recovered from the weekend race and will probably run about an hour tomorrow and then when I get to Seattle do some light jogging, strides etc. on the course.
