Training Log Archive: Myka

A very brisk walk with Amik, my friend and her brand new baby along the river paths.

A great run with the Carbons, Heather, Tom and David.
From my house up to Highline, across to Raiders of Rohan, up to Grassi Lakes, down to Powerline and Loki.
I think I run most of the hills except Raiders (I forgot that beast was there!).
A great feeling:) I was at the back of the pack, trying to keep my own pace, run the hills at a slow and steady pace, small steps.
We did stop at the top of major hills for short breaks and to re-group.
Fun run and great company.

A nice and easy run along the river while Amik was at parkour.
I think next time I will need a headlamp....it's getting dark out there!

Dirtbags session with a Salomon demo night. Amik joined too!
I was trying Sense Ride shoes (not a good choice for what we were about to do...)
We started from the Valhalla store and run to the cemetery hill. The rain was steady but it wasn't too cold.
We did 15sec hill repeats x10, then there was a team challenge....
We run/hiked to the top of the hill and were paired up into teams of 2 or 3 in my case. Amik and I were teamed up with Piotr B. - our super fast Polish friend. Each had to do 2 loops (going down and back up the hill, using the not so obvious trail but going straight up). In our case, Piotr did the first lap, then me, then Amik and Piotr again. He was the first to come back but unfortunately I was passed by a couple of runners on the downhill - I will blame the shoes for that. Amik did very well and with Piotr's speed, we managed to get the second place. Most people, once they reached the top, just collapsed - it was such a tough climb on tired legs! Super fun challenge though:)

Trail Culture run on Montane trail.
It was pouring rain and super windy when I got to the parking lot, then 5 minutes before we started off, the rain stopped:)

A catch-up run with Carbon on Loki.
