Up Back/Down Front 4.69 miles/2,296 vert./1:04:13(40:38 up)/155 avg HR Garmin Data
Reasonably mellow run. Felt decent despite it feeling crazy hot this afternoon, but was holding back a lot since I want to be fresh for my Grays/Torreys run on Tuesday, as I am looking to nail one last high altitude run before I ease into my taper for Pikes on the 21st.
Was cruising relatively mellow on the descent and saw a few guys stopped at the Greenman/Saddle jct.. As I approached, the guy with a dog (Anthony I would later find out) took off running down the Saddle Rock trail. I was tempted to chase, but figured I would stick to my plan of going mellow, just maintain my pace and see what happened. I slowly crept up on him and his dog (he was slowing a bit to wait on the dog) and noticed he was running in Vibram 5 fingers which made the effort even more impressive. If he were in cushioned shoes and without the dog, I am sure he would have really given me a run for it, certainly faster than I was looking to go today.
