Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and a happy Thursday to the rest of the world 🌎.
I enjoyed a quiet day with a couple of walks with Lulu and a shorter, but quality, trail run up in Granite Basin.
It was nice to see the construction crew not working today so that we could actually hike around our open field. Sad to see our happy walking area being bulldozed and making it impossible to loop around the trail as we had before.
Miles are good just a week out from my 81 miles at the Fat Ox so I felt ready to get off of the boring local roads and hit some nice mellow trails over at Granite Basin.
I wasn't concerned about my pace and planned on running at a more relaxed and sustainable (ultra race) pace.
The first couple of miles was a bit tricky up and down section out on the trail heading towards Granite Mountain. I turned back once the trail became very rocky and steep and returned to my familiar Metate Trail and then up to the Cayuse horse area before a nice gentle descent back to my car.
Not as far today with just under 5 miles but training continues to improve as the New Year's 24 gets closer.
