On the 24th day of my running streak, I made it back to the trails for a nice, relaxing, “smallish” loop through Aliso/Wood Canyons that included a stop at Top of the World. After a day back on the trails, I felt like I was never going to leave them again. But, alas, I realize if I’m going to continue this streak, the road I must return.
I’m feeling pretty good after 24 days of running. My calves are no longer tight when I take off. I’m not increasing my speed much. And the sweat pours fast and quickly. Also, I must foam roll every day to get rid of an IT Band that so wants to flare-up. Overall, I am happy to report that body is taking consecutive day running very well.
Scenes from today’s trail run:
Taking off into Wood Canyon for a run up Cholla Trail to the ridge:

ReplyDeletenice run!
ReplyDeleteSlomohusky! That is amazing. An entire year. I'm too chicken to attempt something like that. Yes, the calves do loosen up. I've began foam rolling the calves also, which I believe helps. It's funny, in the beginning of my streak, I felt like I was getting weaker and weaker. Now, I'm finally feeling like I'm getting stronger. Good luck on your streak.
