A softer trail~

After a rest day on Sunday, I began this “easy” week with a run on the mountain bike trail, 9.5 miles.  I’m happy to say that I PR’d the trail… by 20 seconds!

How can one run for an 1:32 for almost two times in a row?  It was a great day to run.  Early in the morning and cool, the path had dried up to just soft dirt.  This was like running on marshmallows compared to the torrential rain and mud last week. 

It seemed eerily peaceful along the path this time.  All the fallen trees had been cleared away and the path was clean.  It ran fast.

The next day, I ran in the neighborhood.  A little short 5-miler that seemed much easier now than in the past.

I’m traveling to a book conference the remainder of the week, so it will get a little tougher to get a run in.  I’m taking my gear with me anyway.  Hopefully, I can carve out some time for a run.

Gotta run,
