After 2 months of minimal running due to an achilles injury, I am back to doing what I love most...running in the mountains! This past week, I accomplished four runs without any pain, one of which was 3 1/2 hours! I'm excited to be back on my feet, especially during this summer season of training. I am surrounded by several great trails in the Sun Valley area and after living here for two years, I still don't know half of them.
Here is a clip of my Over-distance run yesterday, up Champion Creek in the Sawtooth Valley with Colin Rodgers. The video doesn't do the scenery I witnessed justice, but I thought I'd post it anyway. You will notice that most of the run, is through burnt trees. There was a forest fire 3 summers ago in the area. Forest fires are fairly common in the late summer and as we experienced last summer, they make training really difficult when they are in your area.
Enjoy!
