Week 24 of training for Black Spur Ultra welcomed the first signs of spring! For the first time in a long time I didn’t have to cover my whole face or wear a winter coat while running. To make the deal even sweeter our hockey seasons had also ended this week leaving the weekend relatively wide open…
The good news is that the build up of distance should be easier to tackle with a reduced hockey time commitment. The bad news is this week introduced some foot pain that will probably need to be addressed sooner than later.
While I did start out in the dark and needed a headlamp by the time I got to the Fort Edmonton footbridge the sun was well on it’s way to waking up.
