since race day
Managing my Achilles the whole way. I've realized when I can run and when I can't and I'm able to keep it from flaring up too bad. It's slow and manageable.
Achilles flared up again. Gotta work through it.
So far so good.
Yes, day six! Still at it. Went slow on this to test out my Achilles. So far so good. It was protesting on the Dry Creek downhill last night. We'll see how the day goes. Taking it one trail at a time.
Eight miles up, eight miles down. My right Achilles started getting me two miles into the downhill. Slowed me down but made it through.
This was fun because it was mostly downhill. In fact the route is like the opposite of when I ran above the inversion from home. I stayed on Sunset Peak Road all the way up. This time it was riding, running Hulls Gulch all the way down to home actually, which was really cool. That's why this doesn't loop out. Anyway that was a fun one.
That was hard. Long and hard. But it's done. Another major route crossed off my list. Feels so good to have my shoes off!
Quick and easy.
Warming up my burrito.
That's going to be it for today. It's wet and slippery out there. Not very safe. Glad I started early to at least get one route in.
Went over to Corrals to finish off the day.
A little slow going but I got back out there. Yesterday was challenging with those routes, which were all near Mountain Cove. I was mostly out of cell range and sending and posting was challenging. So were the routes. 😉 42 miles run, 31 miles logged yesterday. I'm doing what I can today. The routes will be out of order for sure. Playing a few alternates. Heading over to Eagle Bike Park now.
Welp, here goes... It's on!
