Super easy effort.

PM - Pineridge loop - 42:10
Started this run at 10pm. Wanted to test out some easy night running with a light, since I will be running many hours in the darkness of the night in a couple of weeks -- during the Steamboat 100 miler.
Started from the dog park and ran one lap around Pineridge. The moon tonight was bright and for at least half the run I ran with the light turned off, as there was plenty of moon light shining down on the trail ahead.
I love running at night...cooler temps, nice calm breeze, quiet and peaceful...ahhh, love each and every step of it!

Horsetooth Park - 1hr 33 min
Started from the Horsetooth liquor store. When
I got to the main trail-head I got stopped by the lady checking for
parking permits. Apparently, I am supposed to carry my parking permit
with me when running into the park. I guess this rule has been around
for sometime, according to her. But this was the first time ever that I
had been asked to see my permit....while running into the park.
Anyway --- workout went like this:
Main TH > Falls > Spring Creek > up Wathan > down Rock trail > Soderberg > Spring Creek > Stout > down Towers > Swan Johnson > Soderberg TH > Inlet Bay > back to truck
Felt really good. Ran the ups and downs at a consistent effort, nothing hard....but comfortable effort.

OFF
---------------------------------------------------------------
Started to feel...off, starting on Sunday. Elli was sick with a cough and runny nose all Saturday, and so I am guessing I caught a little of what she had. Not exactly what I want 2 weeks out of running my first 100 miler in the mountains. So I took Sunday off to rest.
The Next 2 weeks I will be in taper mode, so easy running and cutting back mileage.
