Ran a recovery run by myself. Still tired and sore from Gasparilla. Still a little discouraged from my race. Spent time telling myself it was just a bad day, no big deal. Just keep running!!!

Beautiful, breezy, relatively dry evening. Ran easy tonight and still felt ok at 8:10. Hamstring on right leg still gets sore on the run. Forced to focus on form tonight. Legs felt dead tired.

Ran with Mark on the Suncoast Pkwy, North of SR50 toward Brooksville. I met him in Trinity at 5:20 am only to discover that I had left my shoes at home. But... I had my Crocs on! Yes, I ran just over 12 miles with in Crocs like all the fast Utah guys do. The feet felt fine with the exception of  a toe top blister on my right foot. I think I had the strap too tight at the beginning. By the time I adjusted it was too late.

Very beautiful place to run but also very challenging. The terrain was rolling hills which made for a great workout. I definately want to do this run on a regular basis.
