Every week, I incorporate a foot workout, harboring aspirations to eventually tackle an ultra on foot, like the Devils Backbone. Tonight was no exception, featuring 30-second intervals – ideal for sprinting up a climb, then capturing the descent’s beauty through my lens, possibly catching early signs of spring.
Dependency
The landscape on foot is similar to what I experience on a mountain bike, but walking opens up paths that are off-limits to bikes. This rule allows me to explore new trails and connect more deeply with nature. My training partner and I had this plan set for today.
Path
It’s a triple win – spring is here. I started the run with my biking companion, leaving them at the ‘hikers only’ point. So, I endured the tough parts solo. And, as planned, I paused for photos on my way back. I’m still familiarizing myself with my new camera, so it was exciting. “This should take about 25 minutes… meet you back here,” I told my outdoor buddy.
Evening Gold
“Sorry, got distracted by some flowers and cool scenery,” I apologized upon reuniting with my exercise partner, and we then headed back to the car.
Tomorrow’s agenda includes a trip to Red Barn for final adjustments before the 24 Hours of Round and Round. Plus, I’ve got a 3.5-hour mountain bike ride planned. It’s going to be a great day.
