Easy system check on the grass and dirt in light rain. Everything feels really good. I've done a lot of walking this week but decided to play it safe and wait until today to run. My piriformis is still a little sore but i can tell its healing so no worries.

 This for me marks the start of trail season, and some weeks of no pressure fun while silently building strength.

I have never felt so satisfied after a race before. But.. :).. it seems the result has started a fire. I've been reflecting on it a lot this week. I'm going to pile the wood on it. I am going to do my best to be smart and stay healthy. I have lots of work to do. I'm going to get so much faster. Its going to be fun. It may not always be easy but I'm going to learn and adapt, learn and adapt. I'm looking forward to this new chapter. Thankful for every step...

The gang all got together (minus Reed) in Highland today for some very easy miles. This run was so much fun, everyone back together sharing thoughts and stories from the race. We all talked about what worked, what were some of the struggles, and what are some things to work on for next time. We saw Spencer running a local race and circled around to cheer him through the finish, then we all ran it easy back to Scott's. Except Dan.. :).. Dan is a cyborg and runs trails and pickups after a marathon because he can :D. It snowed down to about 8000 feet so the mountains are just gorgeous right now with the color change and the snow on top. Great run!
