Notes
Never mind about not doing enough, I am sore! Mostly my left glute and ankles. I'm still mostly blaming the trail run and hikes, but obviously the track workout didn't help.
Another glorious morning. Naomi and I drove to Upper Hixon for my first visit and we walked Nessa for an hour. We only saw 1 runner the whole time though the parking lot was filling up by the time we finished. My run then would be mostly downhill as I ran back to La Crosse and Naomi drove.
There was still some uphill that I took easy in case my achilles flared up (as hills after workouts have done me in twice before. I still mostly did Lower Hixon, the Vista trail which I had previously partly hiked with Naomi, Hazard, Logan, and Arlo.
I passed 1 guy on the summit push, then heard some voices shortly after; there were 2 young guns hot on my trail! That lead to me picking up my pace a bit. It didn't really matter as it was just a lot of downhill the next couple miles but I held them off! Finished strong and feeling like I have too many trails left to explore.
