View Benchmark Peak with Craig:
From Vintage View Dr. on Ann's trail. This was my first real run in 15 days. Wow. My calf/knee was still sore until just a few days ago, so I decided to take two full weeks off from running other than a light jog last week. I'm sure my legs needed the rest, but it was really hard to take the time off. I did get in some good cross training, but there is nothing like getting out on the trails, so today I tested everything out on a sweet morning run up to VB with Craig.
We had a blast. Great conversation all the way up and I ran about 99% of it. I just hiked a bit on the steepest section near the top. My calf/knee felt great the whole way and I actually felt good the entire run. I was a bit worried that I would bonk out there, but everything felt smooth and good. Life is good and finally back to normal.
