Mosca Pass

Mountain Run day! After munching on a Lemon Zest Luna Bar, I buckled up and headed out with the class to Mosca Pass for my last mountain run. The task ahead of me: 4 miles up, 4 miles down. The first two miles were pure agony. Sharp switchbacks on a bunch of uneven rocks on the side of a cliff. The next two were rolling in a beautifully wooded meadow. And then finally, another spectacular view at the top followed by 4 miles of flying. Literally took me 39 minutes to get to the top (almost 10 minute pace) and 27 minutes to get down (6:40 pace).It was a great way to end my mountain run adventures. After the journey back to campus, I made a big batch of pumpkin chia seed pancakes with vanilla soy milk and hit the sack. I was beat. I haven't really been sleeping too well because it is so hot here. And with no air conditioning...it's not a pleasant sleeping arrangement..but I manage just fine. After my nap Kels and I headed over to the weight room to lift, grabbed some lunch, and then headed out for an afternoon 4 miler. Another 12 mile day for me. Racking up the miles to 70 this week! What does a day of heavy mileage spell? P-I-Z-Z-A! Pizza with pesto, mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach! DELICIOUS! We each had a half of the pie! Bet you can guess what I did with my crust.....give up? I DIPPED IT IN HONEY. I'm telling you, it will change your life. ;) Well tonight the boys are coming over to watch Dazed and Confused, so I better run. Have a terrific Tuesday!
