Forest Park Loop Number 6 at Garmin Connect – Details
This morning, for the first time in over two years(!) I made it out trail running. I’ve been trying to build my fitness back up after a couple of years of, well, distractions. Or laziness. Call it what you will. I’ve been busy.
I figured I had about six miles in me. So far this year that is about my longest run. Looking through my Forest Park map pack, Loop Number 6 is around six miles long. Perfect. I pulled on my Vibrams, grabbed a bottle of water and my camera, and headed out the door.
It was a perfect morning for a run – blue skies, and not too chilly. And I loved every minutes of it. At times like these I have to ask myself, why don’t I do this more often? I regret doing so little running through the fall and winter. I wish I was in better shape now so I could run further and longer. Hopefully this year I can focus a bit more on running and training and general. I still really want to try an ultra.
