Highland loop with Honey Bucket variation:
I really wanted to get up into the mountains today, but I had limited time so I got the most bang for my buck with the Highland loop from my house. From my house I go north on the Alpine Hwy and then hang a left (west) at Kohlers and at 6000 W. I take another left (south) and take that back home.
This 7 miles felt like about 15 and I can tell that my legs are not back to 100% yet. At times I felt really good and actually pushed a decent pace, but I felt pretty crappy for at least 3 miles and the effort felt like a lot more than 7 miles. |
