After running some errands today I stopped by Flying Lion Brewing. I was in luck as they had a big batch of grain which needed milling so I volunteered.
I also installed a cyclometer on the milling bicycle. Because you have to have stats. :) Milling is awesome after a run as there is very little resistance. Active recovery!
The run was full of mixed emotions. It was fantastic to get outside in the woods for a trail run. It was also great to have company in the form of Jon Robinson and his friend Dave. But my hip sure spoke up as we descended Wilderness Creek Trail on Cougar Mountain. That tiny bit of pavement on 900 where we crossed over to Squak Mountain made it even worse. The climb up Squak was okay but as soon as the trail flattened out I was hating life again and really had to slow down. Ditto for the last descent down Squak.
It was really nice of Jon and Dave to wait for me during that second half when running was not comfortable.
There were some highlights for sure.
- That first climb up Squak is always a bit severe but I did okay!
- Climbing Wilderness Cliffs Trail I came off the back twice but each time caught back up. Nice.
- In spite of the rain I did not get cold.
