Comments: So the race Sunday really did a number on me. I was sore up to and including this morning. I just don't bounce back from heavy efforts the way I used to. I probably could have put in two easy miles but caution seemed to be the best strategy after that beating of a race.
At one point on Sunday we passed by the entrance to Trinity Overlook Park or, as I know it, the Trinity River bottoms. I've been meaning to do a run in this area for awhile so it seemed like a good day to try it. I overlooked the fact it has rained for the past two days.
So this ended up being a bit of a muddy slog. Luckily the trail wasn't a bog or, worse, underwater. I battled through it and finished significantly faster that I had any reason to expect.
