My Actifit Report Card: December 3 2024

Another day and another good hard run on the trails- this time with 9 hilly miles over through Granite Basin.

I had fallen along this route in September but had no trouble staying on my feet today despite the very narrow and rocky trail. The first couple of miles were downhill along a narrow dry ravine but the narrow trail was very rocky so my pace was slow. After crossing the wash the trail became more open and not as rocky but it then turned back and became a long, mostly uphill route.
I still felt pretty good until about 6 miles when my legs began to tire but by then I had topped out on the climb and a welcome gentle descent brought me down to a Forest Service track that made for a very nice and easy finish back to the trailhead.
2 miles easy hiking around Lynx Lake in the afternoon for Lulu to chase some ducks and have a good time together
