Did back to back trail run days on Sunday and Monday. Sunday was about 8 miles taking a shortcut on the divide trail. I felt good yesterday a.m.....and thought "why not" do the WHOLE Divide trail, it's only another 3 miles....and I wanted to get outside....thoughts of riding repeats up Clementine passed through my head too, but I'm trying to baby the Alma 29er and keep her nice and dry.
So, in the middle of a helacious storm off I went up to the divide trail head...a water bottle, a granola bar, and an open window of time to run.
The run was great, listening to the wind through the trees, seeing the waterfalls, and having a moment of solitude, things I enjoy.
Trouble is after I finished the first half my achilles began to tighten. I stretched etc. but it kept getting stiffer. Not bad enough that I couldn't run, but concerning enough that I've seeked a bit of guidance from the local running guru's. One guru's response... "You're getting old!" Not what I wanted to hear, but good to know...he offered up some stretching advice that I plan to take advantage of.
No working out today, but plenty of 'work'.
That's two posts in a row...can't call it a trend.
