Run on Oil Creek x-country ski trails after seeing the fellas come through AS2 the first time. Lovely wet and foggy.

Some hiking on the trails in Oil Creek after the boys finished their first lap. One of the trails I sought out was to go to Miller's Falls, which I didn't consider wouldn't have water this time of year! Lack of water aside, it was a gorgeous day, although much hotter than ideal for an ultra in October. Saw lots of people dropping when the boys came through AS2 on their second loop. They left there around 5:55 p.m. and I am expecting that they'll finish sometime around 11:00. They're doing great!

Kettlebell workout with Jillian.

Met DD11 and FunRun at the Hydrocut for a ride. Perfect conditions, but I am in no condition to keep up with these two! I bailed before they did, partially because Daniel was starting to sing a bit, partially because I had a lecture to prepare, and partially because I was just tired! Still got 16+km in but the other fellas rode almost all of it.

In Little Tract after work. Absolutely gorgeous in there and the non-technical trails are Achilles-friendly for me at the moment. Unfortunately 20-30 minutes right now seems to be my threshold for comfortable running before I start feeling discomfort, which really sucks! On the plus side, I'm up to 6-7 minute intervals where I was only able to do 1 and 1s a few weeks ago. Gotta look on the bright side!

Yin yoga. Lots of hip opening stuff tonight which felt great.

With Andrew at Hilton Falls, exploring some of the trails there that we don't often go on. Ran into a group of three people with compasses and new packs, and I asked if they were training for Raid the Hammer. They were a bit taken aback that I could deduce that from their appearance, but I was right! Such a glorious day out.
