 Remember I said last 10% of a race is all about the arms. It's all about the arms for all the runners out there watching You know, I'm a bit actually Side story, so you know how I like side stories my brother brag about my brother. He was 10th In the United States of America his senior year of high school for cross-country 10th out of all the cross-country runners He took 10th at Foot Locker and crushed it. He just crushed it And I always always yelled at him in races Pump your arms pump your arms and I'm just a huge huge Proponent of getting your arms going because when your legs are tired your arms can carry you across that finish line when it just hurts So stinking bad so anyway pump your arms out there, especially the last 10% of a race So that's what I'm practicing here getting those arms going by the way I'm at Deer Creek It's Canyon State Park. I've never run here before and this is 10 miles from my house That's the beauty of Colorado is that you just keep exploring and find a new place So Deer Creek State Park Deer Creek Canyon State Park. He's going to be snowy Let's go. I'm just up here all lots of snow Crazy, all right, we're going this way just insanity. I can't believe I've never been here before Can you see behind me? He's just like epic I'm basically breaking trail. I think one person has been up here today wait for it Sunburst is up I'll get you another one. I'm probably running 10 and a half minute miles. It's very slow. I Probably gained about a thousand feet of elevation But it's snow slowing me down. All right, some burst. Hi Plymouth Mountain in 39 minutes. We'll take it not what I expected Flexibility in ultra running aka trail running. You got to be flexible I was hoping to run 12 to 15 miles today. That was my goal, but about two miles into this run Here at Deer Creek. I realized because of five inches of powder on the ground that wasn't gonna happen. So What am I talking about? Let me just catch my breath PS no mountain lion spotted today, but I did just see a coyote. So be careful out there folks All right. So what I'm talking about is mentally about three miles into this run I had to say no, you know what? I'm not gonna get my goal of 12 to 15 miles because I'm going way too slow It was probably I don't know actually what I was running. It's probably about 11 minute 11 minutes a mile And and for me that is not an aerobic really an aerobic effort. That is more of a strengthening effort meaning strengthening my leg my calf muscles my soleus my feet muscles Strengthening my quads. So I had to make that mental shift about halfway through. Sorry about two miles in I said You know what? I'm not gonna turn around. I'm not gonna call it. I'm just gonna stick it out and run pretty slow For an hour and 39 minutes. So that's what happened today is good run. Thanks for coming along and thank you Different topic. Thank you to everyone who is helping me get to a thousand.
