I got off to a late start this morning so the temperature was already past 90 degrees as I headed up to Granite Basin for some trail miles👣.
There were plenty of people still enjoying the long holiday weekend so the parking lots by the lake were full. Fortunately the lot by my trail start wasn't that crowded.
The first mile was a slow slog as my quads had little energy and the trail was mostly uphill but I was hoping it would improve after a bit.
I was still struggling rup to the second mile which at least wasn't as steep and my legs were beginning to feel better.
The trail crossed over a deep dry wash after that and thankfully began to level off and then start winding downhill. There were still a few spots where the trail zigzaged up the side of a hill but those sections were short and I didn't have too much trouble.
The last stretch was familiar trail that we had been on many times and it felt great as I coasted down to the parking lot and 5 miles running.
