| | pm--7 Rim Trails w/ Vanderslice. Good run after I got going. Met a neighbor and chatted for a moment on the mesa. Also, thought a bit about how unbelievable xc is in the SW. A team has to be basically college level to be top-tier anymore. Crazy. I also finished a short-story collection from one of my former professors, Caution: Men in Trees by Darrell Spencer.

| | pm--7.25 Anasazi w/ Cholla and Chipmunk. Woke up feeling sick, so I was dragging at the beginning. Ended up gliding along by the end. Also, this was trail run 100 for the year. Always a goal of mine to get in the dirt.

| | pm--6.25 Anasazi w/ the Chipmunk loop. Body responded like I was in a sauna. Still flushing out gamboo. Hopefully, I'll start feeling better soon.
I've been doing some reading w/ a spiritual bent and finished Original Goodness by Eknath Easwaran. It's a bit of a reflection on the beatitudes filtered through mysticism.

| | pm--7 Anasazi w/ Cholla in a draggy manner. No worries. Finished the year w/ my brother great mileage week.
I also finished a book about movement and mobilizations to strengthen the running body. It's called Ready to Run by Dr. Kelly Starrett. Lots of great stuff.

| | I finished an interesting and playful book by Italo Calvino called If on a winter's night a traveler. It's a metafictional postmodern book full of pretty much everything.
And here's the rundown for 2023:
Runs: 335
Hours: 263
Miles: 1,668
Monthly Average: 139 (Biggest month was 153, smallest was 125)
Elevation Gain: 104,990 (Biggest month was 11,654, smallest was 7,024)
Monthly Average: 8,749
Trail Runs: 106
Books Read: 50
80% of my runs were at an easy aerobic pace and 20% were at tempo or faster. Decent year w/ lots of dirt and some good conversations and learning.
Happy New Year!
