AM - 20 miles. An easy paced (6:55/mi avg) long run on the canal and with some extra loops around Tumbleweed Park. Most of the run was on hardpacked dirt, my favorite surface. No residual soreness or any aches at all from the race yesterday. I'm not even sure how that is possible, but at this point nothing really surprises me. Gonna take several more easier days before hitting a workout again, though. 

PM - 5.7 miles. Hot outside!

Had a great day kayaking at Canyon Lake (pictures here) with my Dad. Loaded up the boats w/ some diet dews and found some cool spots. Who says there is no water in the desert?

From Canyon Lake - March 2012

No soreness?!? I am starting to question your human-ness. Amazing job yesterday. Holy wicked fast!

You pre-paid your soreness by running 150 mpw for the past year. I imagine there's very little that can make you sore. Maybe the Peruvian Downhill Dash.

Wow that is awesome Jake!! So incredibly exciting how great your fitness is right now.

Have fun kayaking.

Great job on your race. Enjoy your time in AZ . . .my favorite place in the world.

Jake,

Hi.

The mileage you do amazes me. 20 Miles today after the race yesterday. I know, easy miles. But 20!

Hope you and Dad had fun kayaking. Somehow, I think you did.

Jake,

Okay. 25.7 miles. As always, thanks for posting the pics.

From Jake K on Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 19:44:14 from 72.201.142.201

That's it Paul - the miles either break you down or build you up to the point where you'd have to do something pretty stupid to break down. And I will never run the Peruvian Dash! :-)

So nice to be out on the water and in the sunshine today. Hopefully I'll bring some warm weather back to utah with me, although looking at the forecast, that might not be the case.

No soreness=you are super fit!

Very nice Jake. I almost invited myself to go kayaking with you, but I didn't want to seem creepy. Well, not without Andrea being with you anyway.

From Jake K on Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 11:33:44 from 155.100.226.54

Well my parents only have 2 kayaks, but you could have swam alongside, that would have been a heck of a workout. Or you could have ridden a jet-ski.

We were on the lookout for eagles all day but didn't see any.

From Burt on Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 11:40:42 from 72.223.93.158

I saw my first bald eagle the other day in Gilbert. It's amazing the amount of wildlife I've been seeing here in the city lately. Raccoons, javelina, coyotes, rabbits, owls, skunks, hobos.

I also wanted to see Sheriff Joe... maybe next time!

I've met that guy. He was our landlord when we worked in Fountain Hills. He wasn't happy when we decided to move to a new office. He only hears what he wants to hear.
