Had to take some time off due to my injury. I think the split is helping now and I’ve figured out how to run without too much shock getting to my hand. So tonight I was finally able to do a trail run.

The Run

Did a run through the Cooper Mountain Nature Park. It has mostly gravel trails (with some large gravel in spots) but it was so nice to get off the hard streets.

Learned

Starting to get better and landing on my ball and toes now. It also felt easier to take shorter strides.

Protip: running uphill early on is an easy way to tie out. I’ll need to play with my routes a bit.

Next Run

Since UBC has cardio days on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I think I might try to get a run in afterwards (early evening).

Run stats

• Distance: 2.04 miles
• Duration: 31:53 mi
• Pace: 15:38 min/mi (5 minute warm-up/cool-down walks)
• Elevation change: 336 feet (felt uphill both ways)
