Long run

1200

Run/hike 1:33:30 up from South Mesa Trailhead, Mesa to Bear Canyon
Terrain - dry, rocky, very steep
Distance - 8.37 miles

3 x L-pullups

• Notes: Great run today in some beautiful weather. Taking mesa from the south is much hillier than my normal route, first 2 miles is straight up but then it starts rolling as usual. Didn't get too far up Bear, I just wanted to check it out since I have never been up that way. Much more hiking oriented. 
• Body: Everything felt perfect today. Little hamstring and upper body soreness, but I should be fine for tomorrow.
• General: Adding a new challenge to my list - running the entire Mesa trail, south to north end and back. Should be around a 12-13 miler, but the elevation change would make it a great training run for Leadville. Putting the walking lunge challenge on the backburner, as I would prefer to not wreck myself with a weeks worth of soreness right now. Have a good chance to get some good long runs and some lifting PRs under my belt in the next month or so, so that's where I am going to put my effort.
• Tomrrow: Heavy box squats and some benching before the games.
