Short-Term Running Goals:
'More Fools. I am done speaking. Witness.'
Personal:
The expectation of peace and safety on public land outweighs dog owners' rights. You don't have to have a dog, but you do have the right to free travel. The bigger responsibility falls on the dog owner.
Smooth run up Wheelers/ Ice Box / Maples to Coldwater TH. Great morning - the sun stayed behind the clouds most of the time, so the temps were great. Also, about 3/4 the way up Maples I turned a corner and there was a Bull Moose about 15-20 yrds away .. after the stare down he turned and ran. Awesome!! Just glad he didn't charge after me. Made it up to the Cold water TH sign in 54 minutes. Not sure on the vert, but it was great.
Sweet North Arm Trail crusier out past the Yacht Club and back. No Moose encounters, but ran into a deer toward the end of the run! Good temps, good music - just about right.
Early Black Trail cruiser down past Gertsen Bay and back around the Island loop. The air is thick with Allergy and my legs felt heavy..(prob from shoveling 8 tons of Pea Gravel yesterday..) So, a tough Mudder this AM.
Sweet North Arm run down to the parking lot and back. About 1/4 mile from the TH I had my second Moose sighting of the week! This time the moose decided to run in front of me on the trail for about another 1/4 mile before cutting off to the side.. Pretty Cool! Peace.
Well.. I thought why not, so did a two mile warmup over to the track at Snowcrest and then did 4 x 800's with a 400 recovery.. Splits not that impressive, but a starting point.. 3:32, 3:35, 3:30, 3:30.. mile at 8:00 back to the pad. Happy FrIday.
