My Actifit Report Card: July 14 2024

I enjoyed a tougher run on the trails this morning with a little bit longer distance and a harder effort. I still have a long way to go to return to competitive level ultra fitness, but every improvement is welcome.

Since Lulu wouldn't be going with me later I made sure she had a longer walk this morning. Sunday mornings are always quiet although today several dogs were in their yard to bark at us as we walked by.
We did a couple of road loops and some extra in the field to add up to over 3 miles.
My run started up at the Javelina Trail parking lot which already had a crowd of mountain bikers preparing to head out. I let them go first and then started down the wide path (the remains of an old railroad line).

It was a very gentle descent for just over a mile before I branched off onto the network of trails that weave through the forest. Here I had to watch my footing with quite a few rocky spots to keep me "'*on my toes *" as well as a lot of ups and downs to add a challenge.

I knew that I wouldn't be able to run the entire loops, especially since the last mile and a half was a tough winding climb.
As my legs began to tire and my quads felt heavier and heavier I eased off and finished with a fast hike.
