My training log for the week of September 7th, 2026, followed a 35+ mile week of running, hiking, and walking – my third highest week this summer. I am definitely carrying a level of fatigue, but mentally, I want to keep the miles up because our weather could be wet soon with the onset of the Super El Nino.

Maggie and I went down to the river, and she saw her favorite horses, her favorite alpaca, and we went to check on the river. The Rio Grande is holding its own and I am sure can’t wait until we get moisture from the Super El Niño, which should be coming next week.
