Dare to be great!

Hike about with family and neighbor kids looking for some indian ruins by town.  We didn't find the ruins but had a great time and found some deer sheds.  Finished with a nice soak in the hot springs.

My lower back was a bit tight, most likely my posture was wacky on the climbs on Saturday. Decided to just take it easy and do some flatter dirt roads at an easy pace. Legs are feeling pretty good considering.

Fun little run this morning.  Started on the dirt road from the rodeo grounds, headed up to the foothills then looped back around off trail through the hills back to the truck.  Found one little spike deer antler shed.  You had to stay alert up there as there is a lot of cactus and had to have fast feet at times.  Only got stuck twice...

Day 53: Another good day here in Monroe, legs were feeling pretty good. Went up the Thompson Basin dirt road then off the trail through the sage and cactus bobbin and weaving my way around exploring new areas.  I was enjoying the morning and got some good climbing in on the hills.  I looped back in and ran back down the dirt road to where I parked, legs felt like they could have run fast today if the terrain would have permitted.  It's been a good recovery week...

Went up past the hot springs then went off trail up the mountain.  Followed elk trails up the mountain, saw quite a few deer and elk and enjoyed the weather and the views.  Just went wherever my legs wanted to take me.  Ended up with eight miles total.  I hope to crank up the training next week and get some turnover going then two weeks after that is my 50K so tapering time.  It's been a good recovery week with some good climbs in there, a little over 2200' of climbing in the first few miles this morning.

Got a quick run in this morning before the kid's wrestling tournament.  AP 8:04
