Ross talked me into a Pine Valley run. I figured at worst I would just hike. Trying to climb Browns proved that my calves were not quite ready for that up hill. So I would hike and Ross would run ahead then wait for at view spots. Then at around mile 3 I was able to run to the Summit and on to the Oak Grove trail. I was convinced I was going to turn around and just run down Browns. Then I saw the views at the top of Oak Grove and decided I needed to run down that trail. I wouldn't call it a bad decision but it was challenging. The downhill destroyed my quads. Then we hit the bottom and it was really hot. Luckily we had a creek to cool off a couple times. I'm glad I got out and ran this morning. Saw some deer (1 buck), fox, and a coyote. 9.55 miles (hiked 12.55 miles)
Got out in the heat at like 10:30. Quads still preventing me from running. I think I'll take the rest of the day off and hope for a good Friday and Saturday. 2.02 miles
Ran around the abandoned golf course in Vegas. Had some cloud cover so that slowed down the heat. I started out thinking I'd run 4-6 miles. Then I was like let's run 7-9. Then I said no let's get 11. Ended up doing 13. The fact that I got 13 was spectacular because I thought I am already too out of shape for that. Them Saturday runs are key! 13.1 miles
