Ran approximately ten miles this morning, but did so on a very tough trail. I began running from my dorm and ran up Flagstaff mtn. road, which begins in the foothills of Boulder, and ascends nearly 2,200 ft. in five miles. The climb was tough, but definitely worth it once the top is reached. ALthough I was running at a slow pace on the ascent, it felt as if I were running a sub six minute mile on flat ground. Coming back down the mountain was bad. I hate pounding my legs against the pavement when the road is a steep downhill. I finished with a 600 meter sprint at the end, and felt good. In all, a good workout. |
