Trails!

Lunch: Went walking for 1.5 miles at lunch to work out the kinks.  Felt pretty tight.

PM: Went for a 2.5 mile walk in the evening.  Jogged a bit here and there to test things out.  Hammy still not feeling quite right.

AM: Did my usual exercises mixed with 1/2 mile of treadmill walking and 5 mins of hard bike riding.

PM: Pushed the kids in the stroller for 4 miles.  Leg felt ok going 9min/mile but a bit iffy any faster than that.  Put a lot of my weight onto the stoller and it helped I think.  Slowly progressing.

Another cross-training day.

Deer Fence 5 - 

Couldn't stand being away from the trails.  Ran 5 on Deer Fence then walked for 1 on Providence Canyon Trail.  So nice to be out, even if it was dark and early.

Canal Trail and a bit of the BST.  No good news to report.  Still struggling with this injury.  I still think it is my bulging disk causing nerve pain.  Not positive though.

Hike/Run with the family (parents and sister) -

Gorgeous afternoon to hit the trails.  Lots of people had the same idea as the trails were busy.  We headed up to Lake Blache (Mill-B) at a hike.  We took lots of photos and enjoyed the views.  I wore levis to try and keep me from running.  That lasted until the descent.  I was cold (9000' elevation) and snow on the ground so I started running to warm up.  Then, I figured why not?  I jogged the rest of the way down.  Now I had 30 mins to spare so I headed up Broads Fork trail for about a mile then decided to jog back down.  The family was still not there so I hiked back up their trail until I met them.  Loved it.
