A Run in the Sun is Fun and Cool

Sunday, March 14, 2010
The sky was clear through the night and all day today. It stayed somewhat cool but it was just right for the running workout. Today, I headed for the Kienas route again. The clear sky gave great views northeast to the peaks of Glacier National Park. This is already the third time up that road, but, the other two were during the 4-milers. Today was a six-miler. This meant new territory for the third mile of the run. At the previous turnaround point, the road curves to the left and changes from blacktop to gravel.
With the drying conditions of the last week or so, the road was dry and a good running route. Like the rest of Kienas Road, this section is a rolling variety with a strong uphill at the new turnaround point. (I'll get to give that a try when the daily run distance increases again!). The return run was good with the longest parts of it being downhill running! Chalk up the first six-miler for this training season!
