That Good Tired

Descending toward Summit Creek from Phi Kappa.  Pioneer Mountains, Idaho.

It's been a while since I've had that good, tired feeling -- the kind you get from a big training block, from pushing things maybe just a little bit too far.  And I'm settling into it nicely. Yes, waking up is that much slower, and the lawn grows that much longer before I get to cutting it, but it all feels right.

Strava week.  Slow and steady.

Recover hike up near Grays Peak.  Pioneer Mountains, Idaho.

More Elemental

There's something more elemental this season -- as if each stride I take is newly weighted with meaning that I don't completely understand.
