Wed-AM: 5 mi (:54) // Mississippi trails
A short, easy stroll by the river on another hot afternoon. Glad it's a taper week. Tough to run too long in this weather before feeling worn out and out of shape.

Fri-PM: 6.5 mi (1:11) // Afton State Park
Afton bridges (6x)
Night run under the stars. Ran out around the Back 40 loop and came back. Kind of a short run for driving all the way out to Afton, but wanted to out my headlamp on some more technical single-track for the night section of the race next week. The light worked well, almost too well . . . forgot how creepy it can be to see the reflection of eyes staring back at you from the side of the trail - all deer though (I hope!). First night run on the year, but it won't be the last!

Sun-PM: 5 mi (:53) // Mississippi trails
More easy miles along the river. Just trying to shake the legs out while testing out some more gear arrangements for the race next Friday. Thinking about using two handheld bottles on a couple sections, but I think I prefer a hydration pack over two handhelds. Something about having my hands free helps with balance.
Totals: 25.5 mi (4:18, 10 bridges)
