I had a couple of painful rest days necessitated by a nasty fall on my run on the 11th. Somehow I managed to trip over a rocky patch a couple of miles into my morning run.
Fortunately my legs suffered only some cuts and scrapes but I cracked my left fingers and really banged up my left ribs - not fun for sleeping.
Today my spirits were better and my ribs weren't too painful but my run started off excruciatingly slow as I made the gentle climb up the first mile.
Once I began to (carefully) circle the large field of my usual morning loop my legs improved greatly and I enjoyed a good 5 miles before a half mile speedy finish to home.
Thankfully I felt good into the afternoon for a loop around Lynx Lake with Lulu.
With the end of summer the lake is much more quiet which makes the miles around the shore more tranquil with the beautiful scenery of the surrounding forest.
In 2 weeks I'll be setting up by Palmer Lake north of Colorado Springs for my 24 hour "run" (ie mostly walking) as I move up the ultra longevity listing (going over 40 years now).
