This is a good place to run,, trails are challenging and its beautiful. In good weather the falls trail will be busy with hikers, so will have to do more running on the other side of the park. I need to get my miles up more and more hills since the loops are longer and more hills. The falls were heavy with rain today!
I'm beginning to enjoy running again. The last few months have gome well and I'm running pretty much pain free and have begun to look forward to longer runs and looking to enter races. I've already signed up for a 5k on m birthday and am hoping to get into the Beaver Freezer Tri. I'd really like to do the Eugene half again but that would mean building mileage too quickly. I want to be conservative and not injure something again. Maybe a 10k or two and one or two tris this year and a half next year if training progresses well.
It feels mentally good to again be looking forward to racing I feel like I'm getting in better shape, though pounds have yet to begin to come off.
Sitting here in the lodge after my run...this is a very pleasant place to wind down after a run, hot coffee, comfy surroundings. Good place to reflect after a run.
Received L. Fleshman's announcement about her Wilder writing/running weekends. Added a less expensive one in Bend. Would like to attend but seemed silly to R last time I suggested it. Running and writing are a good mix. It would be a mental challenge for me to see if I could put depth into writing. It's always been my challenge to put thoughts , personnel ones down on paper. Descriptive writing is not easy for me. also opening up emotionally if frightening, opening up oneself to being vulnerable and self-conscience.
