North SLC loop (Jim's "Twin Towers" loop) with the SLC crew. Butt early, thanks to CMC who needed to hit the road after. It's been a while since I've ran with those guys. Nice and slow, I love seeing how much I can powerhike and still keep up with this group. My weird peroneal muscle issue started flaring, and I got a bit worried as we continued to gain elevation (since it feels worse coming down.) Somehow I just ran it off, after 4-5 miles it faded and didn't hurt anymore during the run.
After the loop Jacob and I added on the Twin Aves. He was tired (hasn't run much since Bear) but he let me push him a little on the way up, I had some energy and wanted to go faster, excited to come back and try to PR it now that my climbing legs are coming back. Took it really easy and slow coming down. I don't think I've done the Twins in daylight or without snow. Weird.
Felt pretty great for 4700+ vert and less than 2 wks after my first 100. Helpful that my weight has finally stabilized.
"Training"/speed+ base building starts next week.
I think. ;)
