Went on a run. The normal 6.something miler and my time was still about the same. Glad I am not too out of shape.  Worked until 2ish and then went to cash in some coins at the bank – only 6 bucks but better then a bag of coins. Went to the library to catch up on my 24 and wait out the rain. Scott R. and I then went on a 25 mile road bike ride. Felt good with the rain in the beginning of the ride and needed a short ride to get back out there.  When I got back I showered in the staging area and also cooked a bunch of pasta.

After cleaning everything up I went to Margroff to find a place to park the Rav.

Woke up full and then worked in the AEC for a few hours. Lunch break included riding in the Patterson Terp mobile and going to China. (well at least the china wok – buffet place)

After work I tried to find some friends that were camping locally but did not have any success. Parked back at the CAOS lot to sleep.

Kinda a boring day  – not too much fun to tell about.

Drove up to McHenry in the morning  and then worked at the Adventure Equipment Center – a lot of stuff from those Rock climbing classes and the rafting classes to be put away and cleaned.

Mike signed me up for the Race up the Face over at Wisp so at 4:30 I grabbed a Mountain Hard Wear jacket and a Rail Riders t shirt to do some advertising and headed over to Wisp.  I got ready and kept wondering how to attack that hill. I called around on my contact list trying to find advice from my expert runners, but that was not much help. The race was very low key, the start was communicated to the finish by a cell phone, and there was not a clear finish line. I was also asked to wear a GoPro camera. That will be around the internet sooner or later so everyone can critique my running/hiking.  (I do not know if I came in 3rd or 4th but it does not matter  – officially they gave me the 4th card so I guess my diving finish didn’t make the line.) My PR now for the 400m is about 4:30 plus or minus 10-15 seconds.

After puking up the carrots I had a few hrs earlier on the jog down squirrel cage I went into the Wisp Lodge where there were samples from every restaurant in Garrett County. Enjoyed the next few hrs there walking around and eating. All of the proceeds from the event went to Garrett Trails – hope they had the turnout that they wanted and raised enough money.

I then went to Wisp’s fitness center to work out a little and make good use of the showers. When the maintenance man told me he was shutting it down I had to grab my stuff and get out. I relaxed a bit in the lobby of the hotel and then drove my car up to the CAOS parking lot. I talked to Tom (security) and then conked out.

Parents rolled out from Yokum’s Restaurant and I am on my own.  Drove over to SRMG and met up with Matt DK and Tom. They were on Dinner break from their teaching so I joined them and we drove over to Yokum’s Restaurant.  Then we headed back to the gym and I read some of my High Altitude Leadership book and then chilled with the SRMG crew. At about 10pm Matt and Tom finished with their client in the gym and I followed Matt over to a quiet place to park the car.  Fell asleep there to the downpour of rain.
