This was followed up by XC practice in the evening. Apparently, along with a Chicken and a Suicide Hill, there is also Giraffe Hill up on Mt. A. Who knew?! (1.1 miles)
Tuesday morning it was #hillsforbreakfast, with an attempt at keeping as steady on the uphills as I could and running fast but with good form on the downhills. With Laurel Highlands only 3 weeks away, I wasn't trying to do too much, but did want to put in a bit of work, so 4x up and down Chicken and Suicide was good for the day. (5.2 miles)
Wednesday was a zero day for me, but Sam had her final midweek XC meet in Harpswell. It's been fun to watch her run strong all season!
This morning, I couldn't resist running down to the river again. Just so pretty this time of year. Lots of wildflowers blooming - 10 ladyslippers counted plus a myriad of fringed polygala, bluets, wild cala lilies, rhodora, violets, bunchberries and starflowers - and that wondrous sweet smell of spring hung in the air... accompanied by the requisite sniffles 😂 Also saw one snowshoe hare. (5.3 miles)
One more long run tomorrow and then it is on to the taper! Hard to believe that Laurel is just around the corner!!
