Monday- 6.21 down past the RR tracks. I thought about becoming a super hipster and collecting vinyl, but realized this might be the wrong kind:
Tuesday- I felt as if I'd rather have dental work done that run today. So I did 20 min on elliptical and took the day off. I lived.
Wednesday- 5.24
Thursday- 4.56
Friday- 4.22. Early and chilly, but the sunrise coming home was beautiful. I guess it was pre-sun rise- this was at the front of the cattle ranch. Venus is at the top of the entrance in the sky. It didn't smell as good as it looked.
Saturday- 14.06 on the trail. The sun was out- woo hoo!! This was a great run and boosted my confidence for the trail run coming up. I was able to keep up my endurance and actually had a couple of really good miles pace wise. I feel like I'll be able to run the course and be strong. Taper a little more next week, then it's time for the race. I'll be sure to carb load over Valentine's day weekend :-) There were a couple slippery & muddy spots. I almost ended up swimming in this little pond!
Here's a photo of the trail right before it drops off. You can see the top of the tree line in the distance. There is a steep drop on this path. I always enjoy going down it more than I do up. On this run, there were a couple of people I passed at the bottom of the hill on my way back up. Knowing they were watching me helped encourage me to get up to the top of the hill. I often shout encouraging colorful phrases to myself about how steep the hill is or is not, but on this run, I kept my yawps to myself.
