Since there's no classification for hills I picked 'easy miles' however they were anything  but easy! I ran the ROB (Rattlesnake Over and Back) run this morning for the first time since this spring. I was slower today than I was back then even with snow on the trail! Gaaa! Where's my fitness?

24 miles with 6,000' elevation gain/loss and it's lucky the last was downhill. Without gravity I'd never have made it home. I'm totally thrashed now, and I'm headed out to go dirt biking.

Easy pace 8 miles. I went dirt biking the last couple days. I bruised a rib or two when I fell hard on my tool bag which makes it rather painful to breathe hard!

Today was a 'run how I felt' day. I would have liked to get in 15, but I ended up with a 13 mile progression run starting at 9:00 mpm and ending at 6:50 mpm.

PM

Easy recovery pace run today. R arch/ankle is worse today, and after a big accidental hug last night so is my cracked rib :D

I might try and do a 10k on Sunday instead of another long run just to see how bad my conditioning is. Unfortunately the only 10k I can find is all the way in Tacoma.
