My Actifit Report Card: August 8 2022

It's a new week and I'm off to great start on this Monday and am looking forward to continuing progress and improvements.

We started off with another enjoyable morning 🌄 walk along the back roads with Lulu and my wife up for a decent set of miles. Of course Lulu has to pause and sniff and explore everything but these early morning walks are a chance for us all to stretch our legs and put in a few steps to greet the day.

I had hoped to hike a bit down along Copper Basin Wash but the rugged dirt road in has several deep mud holes and I didn't want to get stuck out in the boonies so Lulu and I just hiked a bit on the Aspen Trail instead.

Peaceful, quiet (except for the numerous birds) and a nice mile or so to take in the natural beauty among the tall pines.

As dark clouds moved into the area I decided to push myself harder to see if I can start to extend out my mileage and then try jogging more. I went out on a much longer and tougher loop to see how it went. As usual my first mile plus was dower but I was able to pick it up after heading out onto some busier roads. About 3 miles in I hit a 3 mile section of constant up and downs with a couple of tough climbs and then a couple of steep downhills that were easier to jog down than walk as it was less jarring to my legs. The last 2 miles was along one of the busy main drags so no shade, tons of noisy traffic and tedious as he'll but that just made me want to finish it faster.
All in all great miles and a great workout even if it was walking.
Tomorrow it's up to Flagstaff again so Lulu and I dill enjoy 3 or 4 miles hiking on the forest trails.
2 weeks I'll be up in Flagstaff for a try at a 12 hour ultra. Probably mostly power walking and not super competitive but it will be a good test to see how I do and if I can get close to 50 miles.
