Highland/Alpine loop solo:
I only had an hour to run so I did my Highland loop (Alpine Hwy north to Kohlers, west to 6000 W. in Highland- back home) from my house. The weather was just about perfect with sunny skies and mild temps, but from the start I knew this run was going to be a struggle. I had just eaten about 30 minutes earlier and my stomach was pretty POd at me from the get go. For some reason running on the road is just a lot harder for me than the trails and it seems like more of a chore. I did enjoy the run, but it was tough. The last 3 miles were into a headwind and I was happy to be done. |
