Easy out and back. I keep trying to find a fast way to get through the steep stream. Nothing so far. Just have to traverse it.

Also... blackberry season has begun! Pretty hard to tear myself away from this after my run. https://goo.gl/photos/fQxgGVoRJejcEQ7P7

Middle distance course in Pegue. Good to get back out here. The clean air and beautiful forest are good for the body and soul.

I think I am in good shape. I held back my body considerably during this because I wanted to focus my energy on executing everything well, not on racing. The map I used is actually a little old. The newer map reads better, but this worked just fine.

Terrain running in Peguerinos with 10x20/40s to feel speed in the forest. It rained for an hour and a half before this run. Glorious temperature after the rain.

Followed by 90 pushups, 20xpedestal, and 5 minute plank.
I decided to come up to Pegue for my last week in Spain before going stateside for a few reasons (1) the reasonable temperatures mean I can actually train and sleep well, (2) it's more beneficial to do intense forest workouts here than in dry, dry Casa de Campo, and (3) who doesn't want to be in a beautiful spot in the mountains?

Terrain running in the dry, dry land of rabbits.

10x1 minute pickups through the forest in CDC on a 1 minute rest to feel speed off trails. Everything is sooooo dry. It'll be nice when fall comes and the rain comes back.

Followed by 90 pushups, 20xpedestal, and 5-minute plank.

Rolling through CDC. Still can't breathe too well.
