ran local hills, steep descents with return steep climbs. Ran with my friend for her 40th birthday, didn't run all uphills, but felt strong enough to run them all hard. Fitness feels better than before AR 50, hills are not as challenging, and i feel strong every workout.

El Morro loop. Down red tail to lower canyon then up I think I can trail to upper fire road, to top and out. Felt very strong today. Pushed bigger gear up every hill, didn't have to shift to small ring in front, I felt like I could push big gear even on steeper climbs, I just got out of the saddle and pushed up each hill. I did crash about 10 minutes from the end of the ride, my front tire washed out on a descent and I got slammed on my left side. Tore my left elbow and forearm up as well as my lower leg, also got a huge raspberry on my left hip down to the lateral aspect of my left knee. It feels fine this mornig, we'll see how running down some hills will feel in about 30 minutes.

1/2 mile warm up then 4 1/2 mile tempo. did run on slightly rolling trail, felt strong, pushed pace the last 1 1/2 miles.

down single track from cul de sac to red tail then down to fire road up to outer fire road and back to car. short steep climbs, with long technical rocky downhill

outer loop at El Morro, steep, long climbs in 95 degree weather

good ride at El Morro, 100 degrees plus in lower canyon, great heat acclimation ride.

hill run in heat, 95 degrees. felt strong, some fatigue from hill runs earlier in week

ran trail with neighbor, she has never run for more than an hour and 15 min, so we strtched out a run a little bit, we ran close to 9 1/2 miles, she felt great and ran strong. this run was more for her than me. she needed to go a little farther to realize that she could. we pushed pace a bit the second 4.75 miles

great ride in local hills

ran hills in El Morro. ran easy, did not push real hard. Felt great for the entire run, could have gone much harder with little effort, I felt light and quick today

Ran hills Sunday. It was just one of those days where nothing was hard, i ran effortlessly uphill at a faster pace than normL, and felt recovered very quick once getting to top of hill. Great run, that was how my AR 50 should have been.

First mountain bike ride in a couple of months. 3 good climbs with several miles of rolling terrain as well.

easy 5 miler with my buddy who completed AR 50, followed by a couple hundred easy yards in the pool

ran upper fire road. rolling terrain with 2 longer climbs, roughly 1/2mile or so. 23 minutes out (mostly uphill) and 19 min to get back. used second 2 1/2 miles to run harder, closer to tempo pace. felt strong
