5 wonderful miles with my Smo!

SO MUCH FUN this morning with Smo! We went exploring and found some new trails off of the Red Hills Trail system. The contrast of the red rock and dirt (on which we were running) above the super green golf course (which we were looking down at) was absolutely breath taking! Smo and I LOVED the combination of running on packed dirt, slick rock and boulder scrambling that we did. We really did have a lot of fun! :-)

5 miles this morning, 3 of which were with Smo: Church square with Rustic extension, then part of Big Bull Loop. (Smo inevitably runs negative splits. Something about being a mile within home that turns her burners on! Crazy girl! :-))

5.5 with Ry and Lowell. Always great conversation when Lowell is there. :-) Unfortunately he had a bad cough. Nice and easy cruising around the local neighborhoods. :-)

8.5 miles with Ry up to Staheli Farms and then south on Washington Fields road then back home.

It is a cut back week and the schedule I am loosely following has the majority of runs this week at 5 and 6 miles. However, my legs really wanted to run further and so I added on a few with Ry.

I have been running the vast majority of my runs much slower than I have over the past several training cycles. I have no idea what to expect come marathon time. It sure has been nice running with zero aches, pains, niggles, etc. though. And the best part, enjoying so many miles with Ry. :-)

5.5 miles

3.5 miles with Ry and 2 miles with Smo! Surely you can't tell which miles were with that crazy girl of mine! I am still in awe how a 13 year old girl can run consecutive mid 7s to mid 6s in a row and when I ask her what effort it required she responds, "Meh, maybe a 7/10." I obviously did not keep up with her the last quarter of a mile when she took off and in 400 meters spread the gap between me and her to over 15 seconds when I was running at full capacity. DANG!

14 miles with Ry at Little Black Mountain

A neighbor of mine who runs HS track and cross country (and is CRAZY fast) was telling me how the cross country coach has the kids do the majority of their miles on trail/dirt roads. He then proceeded to tell me about Little Black Mountain. Ry and I have tried a couple of times to find it and finally did today. Pretty dang cool considering that you run right up to over 800 petroglyphs. We took a short break to look at some of them. I was in awe as I was trying to wrap my mind around the history involved there. I wish I could read petroglyphs. What stories those rocks tell!!!
