This action shot brought to you by Donner Lake, elevation 6,000+ feet.

Week 5 began with a day of Rest, although I wasn’t completely inactive.  There were spurts of laborious activity- unpacking the car, transporting suitcases in to our vacation digs, hauling piles of crap to and from the beach.  I even took an industrious break from basking and reading in the sun to go for a swim.  OK, so it wasn’t so much a swim as a quick dip but I did move my body, right back to the beach chair.

This restful day was consummated with more quality family time, and an evening carb loading session on the deck.  Tomorrow’s high altitude 3-miler is going to be something else.
