Fat Burn!!

 If you've been a runner for any length of time you must of experienced "fat burn". That burning, itching feeling around the waist or thighs....usually experienced after a long layoff....I didn't have it today!
  A nice run in the wonderful fall air, couldn't be better! 30 minutes, hope to get back on track. Thanks for your kind comments regarding my current circumstance.....you all are the best! Peace!

Loop #4, Now known as the Outback

Two more weeks until the taper! I am going to try to log fifty miles this week. I decided to do the trail loop. This is my only true loop run out here in the boondocks and it's a beaut!
The hills are beginning to show a hint of fall. The views are opening up and the orange and yellow colors are gradually appearing. It was absolutely fantastic today! I started out very strong and feeling good but at mile 15 I totally toasted. The trails sucked the energy right out of me but I loved it!
I ran and walked the rest of the way in, 2K hill really kicked my tail and my time but it's in the books! Overall my body is holding up quite well; the heel is burning a little, the left calf some tight, but that's just marathon training!
Totals-18.95 miles/ 3:52:26/12:16's. the last four miles took 59:25! Like I said, I toasted but I persevered, too. Peace!
