Today I traveled out to the Warm Springs Native American Reservation with my aunt, uncle, and father where I did some trail running in my Brooks Cascadias. There are four main/marked (i.e., red, blue, yellow, and green) high-desert trails in this area (they are also known as the Kah-Nee-Ta Hiking Trails). I ran three out of these four trails before calling it a day. These trails are pretty technical in that there are a lot of inclines and declines in addition since horses use these trails the recent rain fall made for a lot of hoof puddles. Consequently, it was slow going, but a heck of workout! Also, the scenery was unbelievable; for example, I ran across seven deer on the Raven’s Roost overlooking the desert valley. These deer ran just ahead of me on the trail for approximately a mile, so it was neat to watch them run ahead, stare back at me, then run ahead again.
In regards to my non-running workout, I was able to get in a 4.9-mile bike ride, 300 sit-ups, and 30 push-ups. |
