My Actifit Report Card: October 18 2025

My legs are beginning to feel the effects of our long relocation to Arizona and the week of increased effort on the hilly trails here so today's run was tough (although my mileage and pace were pretty decent).

Although it was a cool and clear night the cloudless sky made the temperature quickly rise. Luckily there was a bit of a breeze so it wasn't too hot.
My route quickly turned uphill as I hit the nearby trail and climbed into the hills.
It felt much better after a mile or so as my quads loosened up and my running got easier.
Of course the several hundred feet of climb taxed me by the beautiful views of the valley below and the welcome descent back onto the quiet road for the half mile stretch home was welcome.
Good effort as I am looking forward to my USATF 24 hours ultra down near Phoenix in a month.
