My day started this morning with running across farmland, looping around harvested fields in bright autumnal weather. Wow! what a start to the day. The Ridgeback and Boxer are now so comfortable in each other's space, perhaps the influence of Zulu and Masai, the five of us running as one. Just divine!
I had anticipated being stiff after Monday's recovery day following Sunday's event, but my legs felt great and ran for 50min over 6km with a gentle stride allowing Zulu to keep up for the most part. He has osteo-chondritis and hip-dysplasia, but you would never know it. He does himself proud.
I credit taking the maca for the speedy recovery of my muscles and looking forward to my large pack run tomorrow morning. Possibly only 4km tomorrow, as I have Zumba dancing in the evening which is intense.
To maintain motivation and have something in the future to work towards, I am now considering an event which is slightly more challenging and different, but in an environment that I am used to training in.
Human Race organizers do an off road run called MudMan which comprise of a 10km dirty trail run through forests and gullies. Mmmmm, I may be setting my sights too high, but I won't know until I try. It's going to be wet and muddy...a fantastic excuse to get messy. Anyone fancy joining me for a mud bath?
