Today, I pushed myself to a longer mile run than I have done in about 3 years now. 9 miles...the midpoint which was a 4.5 mile run out before I turned around was to an absolutely beautiful section of the Steamboat Trail. It was out above the homes and the highway. Beautiful snow capped Sierras, crystal blue skies and warm sunshine shined on my face as I admired the homes and the highway below me. It was so inspiring, so enlightening to run out that far..the farthest I have ever been on the Steamboat trail. It was awesome.
The last 2 miles of my run were the hardest but I pushed thru it and made it to the end. I ran 8:30 per mile at my fastest and 10:30 at my slowest. Beautiful day..good run. Aches and pains in the lower back and my calves were incredibly tight. A swim in the heated pool and a soak in the hot tub did them just fine.
