Notes
Run with Nutmeg and Helix at Sac and Fox. We did the single track to start and it was a little soft in places but not too bad. Helix was only able to join for 7 so we doubled back with him and then went back out. The way back with Helix had me feeling a bit tired from the mud and hills but I knew I wanted to get in a longer run so we kept at it. The main path was better in places and worse in some others. A couple minor rolled ankles as darkness caught up with us and some soft spots to really kill the momentum. It still would have been pretty easy other than Nutmeg wanted to do 30 minutes of harder effort which was pretty difficult or rough terrain when it was hard to see. Some of the pick up felt easy but the missteps and muddy spots took their toll. Back tightness and a side cramp continued to come on throughout the pickup. With about 1.5 miles to go I started to get it a little more under control. I'm not sure if we slowed down at any time or just better footing let me get locked back in. Either way, ended the run feeling decent and happy with the effort. It looks like Nutmeg said we were around 6:20 pace for the last 30 minutes which I think is pretty solid considering the conditions.
