The Mother of All Cross-training Efforts
Sunday I went kayaking (for the first time) with some friends. We kayaked the Strong River between Mendenhall and D'Lo, and it was supposed to be a 2 or 3 hour cruise. Great fun, but lots of work. Apparently, when the water is low, there is less of a current, which means the paddler has more work to do. Well, the water was very low. I'm not as sore as I thought I'd be, but I slept really, really well Sunday night. If we're only supposed to cross-train for 30 minutes 2 days a week, it's a shame I can't just apply my 6 or so hours from Sunday to cover a bunch of it. I actually skipped my Monday run because I was so exhausted, but plan to do a longer run on Tuesday to get back into the swing. Wow. What a great workout.

D'LO HAS A WONDERFUL WATER PARK, WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN YOU BEFORE TO TELL YOU STRONG RIVER IS THE DEVIL IN LOW WATER, IF YOU WANT TO TRY ANOTHER ONE THEY WILL TAKE YOU TO PINOLA , THE SIVER BRIDGE AND DROP YOU OFF AND FLOAT DOWN TO BRIDGEPORT, ITS A PRETTY FLOAT TRIP ALSO,,
I LIVE IN M'HALL. D'LO IS WHERE I DO ALL MY RUNNING, ITS A REALLY NICE AND PEACEFUL PLACE TO DO IT.
GLAD YOU HAD A GOOD TIME THERE,, DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY FILMED A PART OF , "BROTHER WHERE ART THOU" AT THE WATER PARK..
SEE YA SATURDAY!
that reminds me of the t-shirt I saw on someone running with us the other day. It said:
"Paddle Faster, I hear Banjo Music!" Anyway, sounds like you definately got in the XT...cg
