Started at 27th, did my short loop to check out the trails on the south side. Most of the stuff north of Taylor canyon is pretty dry, south ouf that, not so much. Mud's thick dropping down to Rainbow though. After the short loop headed north past Rainbow on the BST. Passed the go-fasties on their way back. Turned around just above the service road and took the high trail through Jump Off canyon. Passed the go fasties again pulled over talking to Jim and Aric, but had no time to stop as I had to get home. Nice thing about having one dry trail in the areas is that you get to see just about everyone on most runs. I was thinking about that on the way back and am really suprised at the number of ultra runners in the area. Counted roughly 19 people who regularly run ultras (most regularly run 100 milers) and trail races that live in the area. That's a pretty good community of runners for such a niche sport and a relatively small town. Pretty cool.
Feeling the miles the last couple of days. Starting ot get kinda spacey and hungry all the time. My body os holding up well. which is good. My calf Achelles thing is flaring up a bit, but going to ART tomorrow which will take care of that for a few more weeks. Glad it's the last hard week, then a couple of easier weeks before Buffalo 50 mile.
13 miles, 1750 vert tonight. 1:50 minutes, harder effort than I wanted, but was on a schedual. |
