I ran the loop at Greenland today as I was setting out the signs for tomorrow's race. I didn't want to run 8M, but I really had no choice as it was too wet to ride the loop. Plus, I knew that i wouldn't run tomorrow because of the race (or probably Sunday for that matter). So I thought it would be better to go a bit longer today as long as my leg didn't start to hurt.

I felt pretty good for he first 3 miles or so, but after that, the long climb started to get to me, as did the snow and mud still on the trail. I was stopping every once in a while to snap a photo of the course or to put out the arrow signs, but not for very long at each place.

Once I crested the saddle at 5M, I felt fine running back to the shelter. I didn't have any problems with my leg at all, just lack of fitness taking its toll. I usually run this loop in just over an hour on an easy run, so I definitely took it very easy today.

I will most likely by on my feet all day tomorrow, so I will not be running my normal Saturday/Sunday combo this week. I probably will have no desire to run on Sunday either, since we will need to unload everything and get the Uhaul trailer back on Sunday. So I will resume my running on Tuesday, which should give me ample recovery from this run and the race on Saturday.
