Warmed up with some drills and sprints for half mile then 7.5 trail miles with Blake followed by some core work.

It was still 82 this morning but the air felt nicer like it is going to be fall soon.

Did some core work then ran 7 very hilly trail miles with Blake.

It was only 71 degrees this morning!!!! I think fall is here, hopefully to stay.

Oh yeah, I signed up for Boston today.

Tomorrow Blake and I are going to run Crossman Peak from my house which is 26 miles round trip with a 4000+ foot climb, so today I decided to take it easy and just walk on the TM at 4.0 mph with a 15 % incline for 1 hour. It is actually really tough and works those climbing muscles but it doesn't have the impact of running.  Hopefully I feel good enough to survive the long run tomorrow.

When I got home from my run this morning I had an email that I have been accepted to run Boston 2017.  Yea!

Blake and I did a 26 mile round trip run from my house to the top of Crossman Peak which is over a 4000 foot climb and then decent.  It was only 70 degrees when we left (over 20 degrees cooler than when I did the same run 2 weeks ago.) It was way easier.  We were about 10 minutes faster on the ascent than I was 2 weeks ago, but on the descent Blake started hurting and mildly cramping so we were about 8 minutes slower on the descent than I was last time.  Anyways we both survived and I felt really good.  Grand Canyon R2R2R is 4 weeks away!

3 easy miles bright and early before a long busy day. It's all I had time for.  Legs felt 100% fine.
