No luck at Wasatch!.....Signed up for the Bear....might need to find one more 100 this year.
Repeat Saturday run. Malan's to the BST, head north as far as I can go, turn around and run back. Trail at the top of Malan's is improving though it's still western up there, hard to keep the rubber side down for the last 1/2 mile or so. North BST is pristine, no mud, very little snow, just lots of fun runn'en. Ran into Aric and Les at Rainbow, hope their lottery went better than mine. Last long run before Red Hot in 2 weeks, really looking forward to that one, though I have no idea where my race fitness is as I haven't had my heart rate above 150 in over a month. Given that, I dont think I'll taper much, slightly easier the week before is about all. Be fun to see if I can shake off the lazy, slow legs.
Heel and calf are a little tender after today's run, hope it's not an issue for much longer. Miles and vert were about the same this week as the last 2 weeks, but the effot was just a bit higher, pushed it just a little here and there. Also, I am starting to not use my heel lift in my shoes as much so that's putting a little more strain on things, but gotta start to get off the training wheels sometime.
Today: 19.75 miles, 4420 vert, one gel, one water bottle, not too much bonk. Ghost sighting, yes!
Week: 61 miles, 9300 vert. Ghost sightings: 4 |
