Rachel, Maggie and I went out to Kickapoo again, and so I got a chance to run the beautiful Out & Back trail. My favorite part is running along the #6 mountain bike single track - the steep, twisting, rocky hills make the running exciting and risky.

Even though I ran fairly hard yesterday, I did not want to pass up running at Kickapoo. I ran the trails moderately, not giving too much effort, but the final 1.5 miles I cranked the pace down to 6:15-6:30 and cruised to the finish.

I once again felt really good and strong. Tomorrow I plan to do a few hill sprints and strength exercises, then it is all rest until Saturday.

You really did cruise to the finish. That's really fast!
