Sunday's Super Fun Base Trail Run

As part of my training for this altitude run I have decided I would add some multiple loops of base trail running.  I choose the base trail because it is super technical and requires a lot of agility to traverse.

Sunday morning I decided to run it twice in a row, which is not many miles, but it is severely taxing due to the rocks and boulders you have to run over. 

There were lots of recreational hikers and some runners.  Lots of folks climbing the mountain.  It was a really nice day and I completed my first loop in about 38 minutes, the second 40.  So my goal is to shorten that time over this spring.  We'll see how it goes.

Friday's Long run!

And sometimes you have those amazing run's and you wish you could bottle that energy and feeling up and re release it during a marathon.  Friday's long run was one of those.  I pulled a 9:20 pace for 15 miles.  It was a beautiful sunny morning and my run started at 8:40 am.  It was cold then I started, in the high 20's but I quickly warmed up in the sun, pounding away at the trail.  I cruized over the Big Dam Bridge, then ran the mile and a half stretch to the two rivers bridge.  Crossed that then circled the park.  There were others around getting their runs in but very few.  I almost had the trail to myself and it was so refreshing just to sink into the tunes on my iPod and think about nothing.
