Fartleks on the Trail

Today I rolled out of my warm bed for some early fartleks with the group on the trail. It was nice to be back in some form and the trail was good for my foot. I dropped in with Chris and the middle group and was able to keep contact with them until the Rock. I can't believe how my conditioning has gone away in just 3 weeks. I stopped for water at the Rock and then did a consistent pace cool down from there. I was happy with the effort and am good to go for Decker on Sunday. I am excited because I haven't run the full race since 2006 due to running the Dallas marathon.
