Met Kam and Tara and MPJH so that we could do some downhill running. We ended up running quite a varied terrain. Started with 3/4 mile uphill just to wake up the lungs and legs. Ran 5 miles down to the LPT then ran a few flat miles along the trail. We then ran up to Tara's house to drop her off. Had I known what it was going to take to get up to Tara's I may not have agreed to it. It was quite the climb. We were at 12 miles at her house and my Garmin died. Fortunately, Kam has a built in GPS and knew where to run to get the extra eight miles. I felt really good during the run. I had the usual moments of soreness and tired legs but was able to fight through it. Technically starting the taper but the next week still has a decent amount of miles. |
