A.M. - Extended Litte Cottonwood route with the climb to the top of Sego Lily. Exact same run as last Saturday. I wanted to go a little further, but the wind and rain were really acting up toward the end and I honestly just didn't have the drive to keep going. I may have underestimated the hills with last night's trail run, or maybe the cumulative lack of sleep is catching up. Overall, a good run. I'm happy to say the leg is doing alright. The end of this project I've been working on marks the unofficial end to my 'busy season' at work. So I'm anxious to start concentrating more on running (and cycling) and building up my weekly mileage. I think the leg is good enough to allow me to do that. Unfortunately, my fitness is quite a bit behind where it was this time last year because of the injury set backs, but that's okay. I'm expecting the UV 1/2 to be somewhat of a humbling experience in two weeks. I've got to go pick up the bike from the shop today (tune-up) and am hoping to get a ride in. The way the weather is though, that is probably doubtful. P.M. - Wind was raging this afternoon and I knew a road ride was going to be miserable. I opted for a mountain ride instead, which proved to be a good choice. Up and down the Little Cottonwood Trail twice. About 19.5 miles all in. Leg felt good and tired by bed time.
