So like I said, I've been working crazy hours lately... but even with less then 6 hours of sleep under my belt (for how many nights now??), I still managed to wake up before 6am today and get a 7 mile trail run in. AND IT WAS WORTH IT! I've been fighting off a sore throat and swollen glands for awhile, so the cold air was a little rough on my lungs, but it was beuuutiful. I'll never get sick of the Santa Monica mountains, a sunrise over downtown and the water off in the distance. How do we live here!!???!?!??!?!?!
I definitely took my time for the first couple miles and the entire group sprinted by... but it was all good. An hour and 20 minutes later, the group was down at the bottom of the trail waiting for me so we could all hit up Peets for a some morning joe. Pretty embarrassing to come in last (just that much more training ahead of me!) but sucha a great gesture of teamwork as well.
Maybe the most magical thing of it all... Coach Jimmy gave me a recipe of a little witches brew for my cold. Hot water, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, fresh ginger and grapefruit seed extract. Umm, what? Its so spicy its burning the sore throat away. HA! I'll keep you posted... so far so good and my throat is feeling better then it has in over a week. Maybe Jimmy really does know what he's talking about.....?
