AM: Recover day for me. Decided to give Kim the character-building experience of running up/down Loafer mountain. Kind of a warm, muggy morning, we even felt a few raindrops right at the beginning. Had a bit of a headwind as we headed up the hill so that didn't help much. Usually runners really struggle and walk alot the first time running up Loafer but Kim did pretty well and seemed to get stronger as the hill got steeper. Saw a few deer and a bunch of hummingbirds. One hummingbird in particular seemed to want to help us up the hill as it would fly just out in front of us, seemingly there to lead the way and prod us to keep chugging away. We went as far as the gate then turned around and cruised down the hill, ending with 6.6 miles.
Ave pace: 9:51
Late AM: Core workout plus 10-minutes on the bike = 1 easy mile. |
