LM warmup, 24.46 miles in 3:45:11, 9:12/mi, HR 141 & stretching. Sunny and warm (68F). Late day run today after spending the morning cleaning carpets. First 3 miles was out and back to the bathroom, then up Scott Turner into the Elbe Hills for some trails. The forest road got regraded and some quarry spalls spread......so instead of fairly compact roadway, I was dealing with large loose rocks. Not so much fun. Discovered a new trail today....Looking to intersect Memorial East instead I found Snoey. Snoey to John R. (?) to Anvil Loop to Upper Elkspur to Memorial East and back home. Ran into the guy who spends all his weekends maintaining the trails, so I stopped and chatted with him for quite a while getting the scoop on the trails, got a map, and got a phone number so I can report trees blocking the trails. He likes maintaining them, but often has difficulty finding the blowdowns......sounds like the perfect job is for me to report the ones I find while out running. Almost like its not work at all.... Legs pretty spent after today's effort. |
