This morning was the first official xc practice! Things get busy from here on out...it'll start to be a lot tougher to get the last of my miles done, so we'll see if I can hit my mileage goal. I will at least beat last year's mileage goal, barring illness or injury, and I have already beat last year's fundraising total!
Today I decided to try an afternoon run at Mount Spokane since I haven't been running since last week. I did the Day Mountain loop described in the park map as five miles, but I added a mile each way by starting at the Bald Knob Picnic Area TH instead of the Upper Mount Kit Carson Loop TH. I'm calling the post wogging because my calf is still bugging me enough that I'm walking all of the steep hills, and I'm currently so slow that it's more jogging than running.
Today's animal sighting was another coyote--this one was a full grown adult that was probably twice as close to me as the ones I saw on the 12th. It's too bad that I hardly ever take my camera with me when running because I surprised it and it couldn't smell me, so it stood still for a moment and I could have gotten a nice picture of it.
Today's mileage = 7 miles
August total mileage = 242.8 miles
