Lory - burnt areas

Mill Creek / Lory intersection




Rock summit

A great long run today.  Felt really good!  Legs felt solid on all the climbs.
Ran down Mill Creek to take a look at some of the scorched areas from the Galena fire last month.  Still smells like a campfire in parts.  Amazing to see just how close this fire came to lighting up Horsetooth Mtn.

2 Gu's - 20 oz water.



Sunday - 04/14/13

Pineridge - 33:12

Easy recovery jog.  Legs felt surprisingly fresh.  No stiffness or lag from yesterdays long run.  Wanted to go further but opted to keep it an easy recovery day instead.

  • Felt great to get in 3 summits of Horsetooth this week.
  • Another solid long run.  Was amazing to see the damage from the Galena fire up close along the trail.
