25km for a weekend total of 40km (just shy of a marathon in 27 hours. 2*C at the start but warmed up nicely to 12*C by the finish.
Testing my “backup shoes” for next month’s ultra race. Backup shoes did not pass the test and started causing severe pain in the Achilles area likely due to a heel rub. Of course it wasn’t a problem until I joined up with the local trail run group and tried to run FAST for 25 minutes midway through my run. Had to walk back to the trailhead and will work through a couple other options for race-day backup shoes today and tomorrow.
Now let’s see if I can keep my training (and posting here) consistent for the next four weeks to at least make it through to race day.
