Run Club and Eel Pout Out Run

Scheels Run Club last night: I did a bit over 6 miles. I was happy with my pace and the legs felt good. It was a bit windy and colder than I planned for; I wish I would have had my UnderArmor Fleece as my mid layer rather than the Nike Duo-Dry pullover I was wearing. I was a bit cold on some of the "up-wind" legs and felt tightness in my thighs and back. I wa)s frost covered when I finished.

Unexpected change of plans for the weekend. Cooper is going to Grandma and Grandpa's tonight while I go watch UND hockey. That means I am going to get up early and go run the Eel Pout Out in Walker. I was thinking I would have to skip it, but things fell in place.

It will be a bit hectic; 160 miles round trip to Grand Forks for hockey tonight; home around 11:30pm. 120 miles to Walker (need to leave home around 6:30am). Run the race. Then about 150 miles to Grand Forks to get Cooper and 80 miles home. (total of 350 miles tomorrow; 510 for the two days).

The MDRA annual lists it as a 5mile race, but the website says 5K. I guess I will show up and follow the pack and maybe run the course twice if it is too short for my training plan. :)
