Olympus Trailhead, 6 AM, 7 miles. I felt good and comfortable for an early morning run. Burch to Elbow Fork, 4 PM, 8 miles. I started by running a couple of miles on pipeline before heading up the switchbacks at Burch Hollow. I was able to run an honest pace while keeping my average HR at 144 (around 75% max). This is the end of my 3 week cycle. Next week is easy. |
