morning - 16 Prospector. Not necessarily great running (not bad though), but a great run. Slept in a bit hoping it would be cooler with the storms around and got out around 8 in the rain. This was the most rain in a long time and trail was just a sloppy mess - it was great. After crossing under the freeway I saw a really cool waterfall coming off the red rocks, so I went up and got in it. As I kept on running there were dozens of more waterfalls coming off the Church Rocks - very neat. I threw in a few fartleks on the way out and back, just pushing for however far I wanted to go however fast I felt like (probably between a .5-1 mile each time, except the last one where I just tried to push home for the last three miles). Down by Red Cliffs I hiked up a rock outcropping and just chilled there for awhile and enjoyed the rain and clouds clearing off the mountain. By the time I was done I was covered in mud. It was great. Finished by taking the dog around the block. (NB 110 248.75) Week saw some pretty good progress as my leg was feeling much better and I got in pretty good mileage as well as a little bit of faster running. Goals for next week: push back up the mileage to where it should be and get a better tempo in and another workout. |
