Council Trail

January 1, 2021 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
First run of 2021. Doesn't really feel like a new year yet, at least for me, my transitions have been a unrecognized cross between abrupt and blurry, so I don't know what to feel. I stayed up last night but watched the ball drop at 9pm. Took me a while to figure out the telecasts. Woke up a bunch of times in the night as people were still shooting off fireworks I think. Therefore, I slept in a lot and woke up really late. Downpouring this morning, but skies cleared up a little in the afternoon so I went out on the trails. Knee a little sore so I wanted to stay soft. Had do dodge mud puddles and walkers on the trails. Went out on the Council trail and came back out onto 16th and back (that trail was super slippery with mud). Once I was in the groove on the trails, felt really really good. The pines are so huge and when the trail straightens out, they tower over you and are quite impressive, even though its much darker in there. Finished up strong for some hard earned miles.

Essentials: Stretch

Good stretch when I got back. Feet were soaked and muddy. Calves kinda tight too and knee is still a little sore. But that worked up feeling in your legs is priceless.
