Week's Summary
Pretty light week in terms of volume. I think my massive hike I did on Saturday to White Pine Lake fried my legs, so I didn't get in the usual weekend long run. I also took two days off this week, which is sort of a rarity for me.
I also got in close to 12 miles of hiking throughout the weekend. I do tend to work at the hikes pretty aggressively so they amount to a bit of a cardio workout -- not to mention climbing several thousand feet also added to the challenge.
This week also had more hot weather, which always makes running challenging. Is it fall yet?
I am looking at ramping up the mileage this week and to dial it back when I go on vacation the following week. I am sure I'll do some exploring on my runs when I am out west, but I think the longer than 7 miles will be a rarity (although you never know).
This weekend I am hoping to put in a solid 20 mile run. It is a week early for Jackson, but given the constraints I have to work with, it is what I have to do.
