Rhett

I was very good last week and didn't run once so I could recover from UVM.  I did however cross train like crazy last week to maintain fitness.  This morning I decided to head out and do some trail running.  It turned into trail running, hiking, walking, and rock climbing and it was so much fun.  The first 2 miles I mostly ran and was able to do them in about 20 minutes.  Then the adventure began.  At one point I had to climb some rocks, but after making it to the top of the little mountain, I was glad to have made the climb.  It was beautiful up there. I headed back down a different way and got lost for a bit, but finally made it back to my car.  The last 2.5 miles took 45 minutes.

Total "run" 4.5 miles, 1 hour 5 minutes. 

6 easy trail miles with a lot more running and a little less rock climbing than Monday.  It was a lot of fun again.  I think I'm going to like exploring all the differnt trails out there at SARAS Park. 

Another cool trail adventure.  10 miles done carb depleted since today was the last day of the weight loss contest.  I took myself to the edge this morning and it is taking me a while to recoup, but my final weigh in weight was 145.0 for a total loss of 23 pounds (13.7% body weight) in 9 weeks.  I better win the cash after that effort.
