Beauty evening for a run last night!

I am working my way through advanced yoga teacher training and spent a lot of time on asana yesterday. Felt really good to shake out with a run. My hips and pelvis felt really good while running though. I almost always do yoga after my runs, maybe I need to switch it up and do some before! Seven weeks out from #UTHC80 and I have some elevation in my future! Time to climb!

The setting sun shot from just outside a wire fence encasing a lush green field. The sun is sinking beneath a line of conifers that encircle the far end of the field to the horizon. The mackerel sky heralds the changing weather coming and the hazy orange of the sun indicate distant smoke from forest fires. Lens flare in the foreground of the shot.

The climb begins again! Nine weeks out from #UTHC80 and double long run weekends are back! Beautiful day on the trail, a mix of single track, crushed gravel, and paved pathways with a visit to my ravine for some climbing! Absolutely gorgeous out there! Humidex stayed under 29 (C)! Breezy and blue skies, no smoke!

A single track trail of packed mud snakes around a green bend. The trail is littered with yellow leaves and dappled sunlight. The sides of the trail are lush and green with bushes. Tree branches overhang the trail. A few slivers of blue sky peek through the canopy.

A gentle stretch today. I'm not due to start my training block for #UTHC80 for another week and a bit so I'm enjoying the recovery time from #SulpherSprings #UltraTrail with easy recovery runs and gentle yoga. Feeling good and starting to get that itch that I want to run further. Felt that on today's #EasyRun Focusing on being present with the recovery time! I talk and post a lot about #running but #yoga takes up the bulk of my training time by more than double! Time on the mat is always well spent!

Beautiful but very chilly start to #SulphurSprings #TrailUltra on Saturday! I wore all my layers and gloves! Holy beans, single digits Celsius! Beautiful course! So gorgeous that I almost didn't mind getting completely lost and having to backtrack, tacking on an extra 8.85km! Really lovely day! Faster than the 64.5km last fall, all that zone 2 time is paying off! And despite doing all my hill work in a ravine instead of more technical trail, I felt really strong. I nailed nutrition which is something I usually struggle with. I am really pleased with this race. Watch recorded 58.85km and 1494m elevation gain. Good day on the trails. Good base to build on for #UTHC80 in the fall.
