My Actifit Report Card: March 9 2025

The weather had warmed up nicely and much of our recent snow has melted away but today was mostly a nice long run on the road (although I enjoyed a couple of damp trail miles hiking with Lulu).

I'm feeling better about running a 50km trail ultra next Saturday although I'm not as prepared endurance-wise as I would like. Still, it will be a good test to check out my mental endurance more than anything as it's a tough single-track course with well over 6000 feet of climbing so my pace will definitely be slow. I'll just have to push to finish even if it's a slow effort.
I hit the hilly Sierry Peaks loop after an hour under my sauna blanket.
I felt stronger today although a long stretch of hills slowed me down quite a bit but then once I crested the high point things moved along nicely.
I ended up with almost 9 miles so that is a great sign.
2 miles slogging on wet trails at Granite Basin in the afternoon was a nice way to end the weekend. Lulu loves these hikes and although we'll be leaving Prescott for good in 3 weeks I'll always remember these beautiful treks.
