It has been about two weeks since I posted last. I recovered from the blistering fun run, did some altitude training in Denver (Cherry Creek), and most exciting was this past week...
Not only did I sucessfully increase my distance to 12.5 but Monday I ran up El Prieto with Ellen. 2.5 miles up the steep-single track-trail in about 38 minutes when I, the leader, came across my first snake! Only took me about 13 minutes to get down the mountain!
Wednesday was my first attempt up Brown Mt. Thought I would have learned my lesson not to lead after Monday but this time it wasn't a snake that stopped me in my tracks...it was a tarantula! Did even know we had those in California!
After a leasure club run Thursday (no critters on the streets) I rested and geared up for my long run with Patty on Sunday. My "perfect" run was fueled by a mini cliff bar and a vanilla cappuchino from a gas station. I had my special potion of 1/2 water, 1/2 vitamin power C drink for the run. It was awesome weather and we ran Linda Vista to Descano Gardens and back to the bowl. Thanks to my full blatter for adding on the additional 2.5 miles on a trail to the bathroom and back to the car.
A little sore in my hips but ready to take on the run again next weekend.
