Nice Independence Day morning run. Felt good at the beginning but then hit the wall for some reason at mile 4.

Decided we should at least do 1 run in the Land of Fire and Ice. Beautiful run along the Reykyavik coastline in near perfect running conditions.

Finally back home after Iceland trip. Felt like a slug but that's to be expected.

First canyon run in 3 weeks. Hopefully the legs haven't completely lost all muscle memory of downhill running. So far so good, tomorrow and next day will be the real test.
