My legs felt a bit tired after last nights tough and rungged six mile trail run, so I headed out for my long run cautiously this morning. I did the same 17 miles I did last week with the middle 10 miles on trails. I took the first 3+ miles to the trail easy, working out the kinks from last nights run, but as soon as I hit the trails my legs came to life and I got in a nice rhythm. I ran the trails much better than I did last week, only having to walk the one really steep long hill and I felt much better coming out of the trails and was able to push my pace on the last 3+ miles home.

AP 8:14...still not fast, but these trails on not ones many people could run fast. They sure are fun though.

Nice job! How's the calf holding up?

I like the miles and the consistency and no flat tires (calfs issues). Nice long run

If it's anything like the trails around here 8:14 is a awesome pace. I enjoy riding the trails more than running them. If I do run them I'm not keeping a 8:14 pace with the hills, roots and rocks I could really mess something up and be out of commission for awhile. Nice job on the cross training.

Dale, my calf seems to be fine for now. Hopefully it stays that way.

Yasir, I'm trying to build my mileage back up. Not sure if I'll get as many miles in as you have been logging though.

HBR, yep on these trails, one wrong step could be disaster and there are a lot of steep climbs as well. 7 of the miles were on the roads though and that is how I got my pace down. I think one or two of my trail miles were around 10 minutes.
