After a week of deep water running and a bike ride, I deemed myself recovered from the marathon and headed out for a trail run this morning. I wore my new Sportiva trail shoes I picked up while up in Utah at the marathon.  They have a rock plate in them, unlike my other trail shoes, and it really helped keep my feet from feeling all bruised up by the end of the run like they normally do. 

A few miles into my run this morning I saw a big snake laying in the trail. I stopped and kicked rocks at it to see if it would move.  It just layed there, so I ran around it.  I don't think it was a rattle snake.  I ended up running 5 miles.  It was a good run for my first run after the marathon.

It was 90 degrees when I headed out into the desert for a trail run at 6:30 this morning. I kept the pace nice and easy and ended up going 10 miles.  It was almost 100 degrees by the time I finished.  I guess I'll have to start running earlier.  No snake sightings this morning.

I broke out the heart rate monitor for the first time in about a decade and decided to try and run while keeping my HR under 140 (The Fat Burning Zone for me).  I did it on the trails which means lots of ups and downs.  I was actually better at keeping it under 140 on the ups than downs.  Whenever my HR would go over 140 I would walk until it went back under.  I did a lot of walking out there. It took me an hour and 25 minutes to run 7 miles.  I felt really great when I was done though.

9.5 miles on the trails keeping HR under 140. Then cleaned church. Then took my boys golfing. Now I'm lounging around watching soccer. Feels nice to do nothing for a bit.
