A good Saturday evening to all Steemians. It was a tougher day running today than I would have liked.
My legs just felt a lot more tired and sluggish today than they have in the past few weeks, but considering my recent uptick in my daily mileage (with the majority on hilly trails) maybe a couple of easier days might help. As I will be running my 24 jour ultra in a couple of weeks I don't want to overreach on my training.
As it was a beautiful sunny and mild Saturday there were a good number of people out on the trails with me again.
But there was mostly solitude on those trail miles with just a few bike encounter s along the way. Happy to see that I am up to a new weekly mileage total and should get above 70 miles with an easy run tomorrow. Nothing like the 100+ miles I ran regularly back in my much younger days , but 10 miles on trails is a happy level right now.
Plus I'm getting much more familiar with the trail network with these runs.
Hope tomorrow is a great day for us all. Take care.
