My training log for the week of May 25th 2026, continues the pattern of runs, hikes, and walks with Maggie the Dog, which means more miles than I have been doing in quite a while. I am embarrassed to admit that I did no strength training this week, so I will correct that this week. To see a summary of my training, scroll down to the Strava Leaderboard at the bottom of the post.

The hike that Maggie and I did last evening foretold today’s weather. Moisture-laden clouds coming in from the west, and clouds on the mountain to the east this morning.

Three Maggie walks yesterday to start the week and then a Maggie walk this morning before I ran. I am getting a lot of miles with that dog!

Starting out running uphill at altitude is no fun, so I did a hike uphill first and then a run back!
I did the singletrack hike to this spot and then ran back, all downhill!

The best way for me to start my high-stress morning was to get out the door at 6:06 and catch a beautiful sunrise!

I shouldn’t have to do hill repeats at altitude, but that’s what I did on a little “hill” this morning!
Evening walk with an almost full moon!
