(60 min)
It’s Saturday, but I missed the Team-D weekly runs… I’m on vacation for 12 days at our cabin in Strawberry, so I’m on my individual running routine, and getting in some high altitude training (6000 ft). Today, we were scheduled to run 60 minutes, so I did 30 minutes out Fossil Creek Road, turned around and made it back. Pace was very slow, but scenery was fantastic. I hit the 60 minute mark about 75 yards short of ym start, so I lagged a tiny bit on the return.
Near my turn around point on Fossil Creek Road… I love this old abandoned boat that sits out in the farm field, quite far from any navigable water.
I got a total distance of 4.6 miles measured on MapMyRun.com… hmm only 1/5 – 1/6 of a full marathon…. now that is almost depressing.
And I’ll be missing a bunch of Team-D runs with 2 weekends in a row up here;’ the next weekend I’ll be in upstate New York for a work trip, then a weekend up here, so it will be 3rd week in September before I see Team-D again. I’m not bailing, just traveling.
And running where-ever I go.

Whew, I got nothing on you! That’s awesome. Just breathing, or trying to at 16k will have an effect.
