I'm back

Hi guys,



I am back from my hiatus. I went for our long run today. Lucky me, I got to do my run up along a beautiful creek in Squaw Valley. The trail goes up, up, up along the creek and lots of waterfalls, then up some rocky cliffs and then by a beautiful little lake. I did a ten minute warm up in zone 2 , then ran (and climbed) for 60 minutes up the gorge, staying in zone 3 as ordered, and then ran down for 30 minutes, staying in zone 3. That was exciting. Jumping down rocks, running down slabs and through trees it was actually easier to keep my heart rate up then I expected.



I have confirmed that it takes me 45 minutes to warm up. The first 45 minutes seem to take forever and are hard. After that - it gets easy. I feel like I can go forever.

It felt so good to get moving outside again. I have done nothing but work on our move during the last three weeks. I gained about 10 pounds and am having the "energy swings" that come from a less than great iet! Yep, too much chocolate and ice cream and bread, and not enough exercise. It will be fun to see how quickly I can get myself back.



I should see most of you Tuesday morning. I am planning on doing the early track work-out. It will be so good to be out there working it with you all again!



Have a great weekend.
