Was planning on doing at least 28 miles today out off of Navajo Dr. while playing on the mountains out there. I was a little nervous about the trail conditions due to all of the rain yesterday. I parked the car and got going and only ran in to a few muddy sections on the first loop. The first 14.5 miles went well and I was feeling pretty good. I got some fluids and food and then headed out for the second loop. The trail conditions were a lot more muddy on the second loop because the sun came out and warmed everything up. Only had to hit one potty stop and then really just tried to keep it relaxed. I haven't done a long run like this in a while. Felt pretty good about everything though. 28.2 miles total in 3:46. I think it could have been faster if I wasn't messing around with the mud.
Really glad I had the music today because I was flying solo. I have a bunch of older music on my iPod and probably need to update it. Great way to end the week though. Came home and walked with the family for a little bit to make sure the legs didn't tighten up.
Another week down. Feeling more confident about the upcoming 50k. Should be fun.
