This morning I started running right before sunrise and it was a beautiful, calm morning.
I did one of the closest really cool trail runs to my house, about a 10 minute drive.
11.5 Miles – 1:54:38 – 9:58/mile avg – HR: 140 – Ascent/Descent: ~2000 ft
I took a really easy pace today because that’s what felt good, and I had a blast and felt great. I love trail running. And the trail was in great condition. About 1/2 of it was snow covered, but it was packed and really easy to run on.
Near the top of the climbs into the foothills at the top of Goshawk ridge I saw two different groups of deer. One of them stared me down and acted like it was going to charge me which was weird, usually deer just run away from me…it was only 20-30 feet away, but I think it was just being protective of the younger deer with it.
