Thought I'd post a couple of photo's from today's day after Christmas run with Eric Jensen and Mike Rosling up Mary's Peak. This was a good run for me, especially at this time of year. I feel like I'm a little ahead of where I was last year for training miles, but I was definitely feeling the quads after I got done with this run. Of course, Eric and Mike beat me back to the truck.
I wished we could have got Gene and William up the trail too. I'm sure William and Mike will be doing a double or triple sometime soon. Gene the trail is looking good, lots of roots, rocks, and well a bit foggy, but still got some good views in near the top.

The final time for me was something like 3 hours and 16 minutes up and back to the North Ridge Trail Head Parking area. I couldn't find my time from May 2011, but there was a lot of snow back then and we didn't do nearly this many miles. So this is my new bench mark to beat next time. Maybe a Mary's Peak Double in 2012.

Thanks Eric and Mike, fun run...
Hope we get back up there soon...
Yes Roger... That was fun. You always know when you've had a good run when you get back to the start and are just "done," or at least asking the question... could I do more? You and I will do a double one day. I almost think it to be more impressive then a 50k. Mary's is tough. Coach is not cupcake... That boy can run.
ReplyDeleteMary's Peak ain't no treadmill... via "Super Fast."
ReplyDeleteI believe that! Eric you made it up there already early in your training and that's impressive. I also noticed you and Mike have the same stride length on the trail up, you got some potential my friend. I don't think either of you are cupcake.
ReplyDeleteWish I could've joined you guys. Soon hopefully.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff Roger... The only bummer was that Mike was carrying a touch pad and watching a dang college bowl game all the way up the trail... and to top if off, he stopped to have a beer and fries. Damn!
ReplyDeleteAnd to William... I have a feeling you will be driving this rig soon. You're a badass.
