More Trail

11.4Ks on the trail this afternoon.  I was either baking in the Sun or enjoying a nice cool breeze today.  Wore my "Bear Bell" again...they are around!   Didn't see any Bear tacks but I did come across what looked like Cougar...I know they are around!  

Trail Sunday

11.3K on the trails today.  Been busy building a trail on my property ,  800 meters done with 1200 meters to go.    Lots of elevation with very few annoying flat sections.   Looking forward to doing 4 Ultras in the next 4 Weekends ...up next is Niagara ,  not racing just going to cover the distance and shoot a really cool video!

Durham LSD

With Niagara looming next week a long constant exposed run was in order.  Stepped out the door and headed to Durham on the 2nd then did a lap around town and returned on  the 2nd logging a constant run ,  27K at an avg 6:28 pace.   Walked the last 0.9 K as a "cool down" for a total of 27.9Ks today.

I was really solid through the entire run.   Did an S Cap at 60 and 120 minutes and was drinking water throughout the run.  Skipped the nutrition ..., didn't
really need it but the last couple of Ks were saying EAT.  Feet were  fine in the ASICS GT-2000 shoes ....no extra support!   A couple of times the oh so familiar pain started to come on but instead of curling up my toes I relaxed my foot and the feeling passed!  

 Bring on Niagara....8 Sleeps.

Lunch Run

5K@6:00 pace today at lunch and thats it for today ,  goin long tomorrow!

Great Trail

Totally got into my trail run late this afternoon.  It was one of those moments when a few Ks go by without really realizing you are running or where you are...sweet. 14.1K logged at an avg 7:30 pace   Last 0.5 K was on a newly constructed trail that I made in my backyard last night.  Check out the elevation profile ...

Lunch Run

5K done at a mostly 5:30 pace today.  

2nd Run

Took advantage of the cooler tropical weather late this afternoon and did a 10.2K Gravel Road/Tractor Trail Run at an avg 6:30 pace.    North on the 2nd 2K past Grey rd 12 then cut over to the Baseline then back to the 2nd on the Mc Cormick Rd.    Its been awhile since I ran this route and I forgot that there was almost nothing flat.  There are some nice long down and up hill sections and a few really steep ones.
