This week was more like it! This was a good running week and a good hiking week--more like what I'll need to do during Hike-a-Thon next month (although I'll still need higher mileage than this)!
I started the week with a run from the high school up Mohawk. I always thought this was longer, but I drove it after and it's only 4.5 miles.
On Tuesday I worked at the park and went for a run on my lunch break--up trail 110, across the Lower Kit Carson Loop Road and down lower 140 back to the park entrance (6 miles). After that I met Lynn for trailwork on trail 160--about a 3 mile hike from the Cook's Cabin trailhead.
On Wednesday I was at Iller Creek. We didn't go to the top this time, but instead took the side trail on the right side from the parking lot. It was about 4 miles. In the afternoon I returned to the mountain for the Wednesday night hike to Horse & Quartz Mountains, adding 6 miles of hiking to my day.
Thursday was my short day with only a 2 mile hike on Mount Spokane, but on Friday I was back in the Dishman Hills for a 5.5 miler.
For the weekend I joined a WTA workparty in the Salmo Priest Wilderness. There were so many cars at the trailhead--this place is getting popular! We only hiked about 4 miles on Saturday, but on Sunday Derrick and I completed the loop following trailwork, so it was a 20 mile day! I was so tired--we worked from 7:30-2:45, and then hiked from 2:45-8:05. I think we only stopped and sat down three times during the entire hike--just long enough to filter water and eat something.
Run = 20 miles & hike = 35 miles
