My Actifit Report Card: October 23 2022

I was able to get back out onto the wonderful single track trails snaking among the rugged hills spreading out to the base of Thumb Butte. Except for a hard climb to the trailhead and descent back down on the way home my run was a great outing on the trails.

We all enjoyed our 2 mile family walk on a very quiet Sunday dawn. My wife and Lulu getting their daily workout while I stretched my legs and putting in miles to benefit a couple of animal charities.

The cool and windy day was perfect for some quality trail time. The road up the the trailhead ended with a steep and continuous climb which continued along the trail so my workout was a tough one right at the start.

The tangled network of trails in this area is a popular spot for hikers, bikers and runners but I had the dirt to myself today. The local trails coalition https://www.yavapai-trails.org/ had obviously done a great deal of trail work as many areas had been cleared of brush and groomed which really was great to see (I've helped a couple of times on trail work here with them).
I tried to keep up a good pace while trying to enjoy the scenery and NOT tripping over the abundant rocky outcrops on the trail and the many twists and turns through the hills.

Fortunately I kept my footing and after reaching Thumb Butte parking lot I circled back on even rougher trails until I finally headed back onto the road for my couple of miles to home.
It was great to finally break 10 miles on a training run after my 2 years of poor workouts and I'm looking forward to more time on the trails as well as longer runs.
Hoping our car is ready to pick up tomorrow as I'm volunteering at the Javelina 100 this weekend.
