Truth is, I’ve been on the run. Literally.
Sunday mornings have been dedicated to training runs in preparation for a 26k (15.6 mile) trail run on July 26th. All in the name of better conditioning for my bowhunting ventures this Fall. (You can thank Cameron Hanes for spurring me on.)
Here is a week by week look at the Sunday runs I’ve been a part of with the Trail Group from Fleet Feet- Santa Rosa. From a “short” 8 miler to a long run of 15 miles, I’ve been getting my heart and lungs tuned up as well as my hips and legs along the uneven trails of Sonoma County State Parks.
The 20-35 miles per week has added up since the program started in May. My shoes have endured about 225 miles, and are showing signs of wear. While most stereotypical road runners can get up to 500 miles on a pair of running shoes, my 225 pound frame accelerates the foam cushioning deterioration. I’m afraid the Salt Point Trail run will be this pair of New Balance 859′s farewell run.
