Wednesday March 25th - Spa day! Much needed too. Trip to the Dead Sea today after practice. Dude, I float. I've never floated, I sink like a rock usually. It was awesome, well novel anyway. And the mud there is heavenly. Greatest mud pit I've been in ever, at least since I used to play in the mud with the neighbor kid down the road. The Dead Sea was pretty interesting. There's salt deposits on the edge of the sea, like big chunks, weird. The water's about 33% salt, 8.6 times saltier than the ocean. If you stick your finger in the water and then stick it on your tongue it's like a toxic chemical salt taste...maybe I shouldn't have done that. We stopped and took some pictures with a camel too. Interesting day. Anyway, back to training. Did a 70min mud run yesterday. Oh it finally stopped raining today too. But the run yesterday was capped off with 10 wet strides. I think that mud run was a bit more than I bargained for, I was pretty tied up, either from the mud run or just the plane trip. The workout today was 10 X 1min w/ 1min rest. Felt ok but had no endurance and legs just felt tight going up hill. I'm hoping I got it out and it'll be better tomorrow. Everybody felt that way so I feel a bit better. Did another short run around town in the pm to shake out. So that's that. Tomorrow it's "downtown" with Neil Young and right now we're vegging out to the Fox movie channel and the Govornator in Collateral Damage. Araka. Tosbeho.
