It is tranquil out here in the high desert. Heading out in the morning for a peaceful run on the dirt trails is a great way to start the day. No people or cars, just a few lizards, ground squirls, and snake trails to keep me on my toes. No snakes in my path yet which is preferred!
Today my average pace was 10:06 min/mi which is way off of any type of PR pace for the race in four weeks. I will focus on hydration and rest in order to build the pace and mileage over the coming weeks.
Run happy!
