Nice trail run today with Amy and Erik J. and the Denver Trail Runners. Was a bit concerned since I did 11 yesterday, but things went well and for some reason, the hammy was happy... could it be, that it loves trails... Hmmm. First 2 miles were a bit tough, since it was uphill (really the first 3.5 were, but I get better after about 2). Took 2 gels and 1 Endurolyte pill. Legs just felt floppy for first few miles. Wanted to experiment with the pills, last year I tried one, and it did not sit well (not recommended in the middle of a 20 mile race). This time it really seemed to help. Was sweating a ton, so figured it was a good time to try.
Also bought some new trail runners, Saucony Peregrine 2 at BRC yeterday. These things are like slippers with tread! Very happy after one try!! Trail was White Ranch, from the lower lot. Went Belcher>Whippletree>Longhorn>Sawmill>Roundup Loop>Belcher. Iced feet and foam rolled when I got home; Now off to an Earth Day event.
