Well today wax an improvement physically over the past couple of days as I felt better and my legs a bit more lively. My mileage and pace wasn’t the greatest but I guess my body is getting adjusted to the extra work.

The whole family was up early and ready for our morning neighborhood walk. The weather was mild and we all were up to moving along at a nicer pace (at least for my wife and Lulu - I could always go faster). We covered a nice 3 miles on this quiet Sunday morning 🌄 and it was a fitting start yo my day.
Lulu and I then went over to Lynx Creek one more time to try to find a productive spot for gold prospecting. My best spot is still under about 4 or 5 feet of water and quite s bit of washed in dirt over the bedrock where I’ve collected a couple of hundred dollars worth of gold.

Unfortunately a lot of hard and dirty work for just z few flakes so I guess I’ll just have to wait until my hole dries out enough to get back to the bedrock but at least we put in a couple of miles hiking and Lulu enjoyed herself (and found something very smelly to roll in as well so some little dog had a very good bath back home 🚿🚿)

My legs weren’t too stiff from my prospecting but my afternoon walk started off slowly (about 17 minute moles) on the flat loop to the gravel pit and then a little bit quicker on the dirt road even though it was a bit of a climb. Once back on the main roads I felt looser and was able to get back down to low to mid 15 minute pace and was able to clip along well over the rest of my route, (which included a couple of decent hills,).
Overall not too bad but definitely needs to be better bit I’m hoping things will get better soon.
One last note is I pulled the trigger snd signed up gor the 24 hour option st the Across the Years ultra down in Phoenix on the 31st of December- my first ultra in 3 years and I’m hoping it is a great finale to 2022 and a hopeful start to 2023.
