Week: 35 miles. Alas, a mental breakdown. Lingering cold aside, I feel pretty good physically being 7 day post-50mi race. However, I went camping on Saturday and just simply didn't muster the time for a run. Hence, the weekly miles drop below 40 for the first time in 12 weeks. Not a particularly alarming fact, since I am doing this Wasatch race on decidedly unhuge weekley miles anyhow, but still a low-water mark in the running of late. With high hopes to kick this cold crud in my chest, I will shoot for a return to 50 plus in each of the next two weeks. Then the taper!

15mi, 2:01: A run through the woods from home in search of the rumored trail up Lucky Jim Bluff. I found it at about 57 minutes and power hiked up some pretty sttep terrain to the first considerable viewpoint. A slightly treacherous run back down and some hotfooted speed work over the last half hour to make it home in around 2hrs. A fine, fine run, with lots more to explore in future excursions out over top of Lucky Jim. Sweet Views! (v)
