I'm sure I'll have to stop for ice cream after the ride. I believe that's a rail-trail requirement<span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></div>

<br><br><p>You bet it is!</p>

<p>Happy 4th of July, KS, Rip and all my American frens who follow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Took today off as well. Company does summer hours and I always volunteer to do the Friday afternoon coverage and take Mondays off instead. Love the feeling of sleeping in when all my coworkers are headed to work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After a slacker day yesterday, I thought it was time for a slightly longer run, considering how well the calf felt the last time. 5 slow and easy trail miles, which included a 1.5 mile stretch of twisty mountain bike trail. Took plenty of walk breaks, especially the steep uphills. Was glad I carried water, as even in the woods, the heat got to me. Braved the deerfly gauntlet again, this time sporting a strip of fabric softener dryer sheet from the back of my hat. Worked like a charm!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy the holiday, everyone!</p>
