Monsoon weather

 Summer rains have finally started (a bit late) in Flagstaff. After a couple of weeks of only sunshine, the air feels like it is has more oxygen after the rain. I don't know if that is true, but yesterday I ran my fastest time.

Last Sunday I rode my racing bike, a distance of 17km

Running

 I have been increasing my running distance. It was 2/3 times a week 6km, 1 time 8km.
6km days have stayed the same, but the 8km day is now 9km. 

I ran that for the first time last Sunday.

Some stiffness in my hips, but not too bad. The next 2 days some muscle stiffness (to be expected). 

I am aiming for the 9km day to become a 10km day, but first  I have be comfortable running 9km. 

So, maybe in June.

This morning I ran on a hillside trail, the Continental Loop. Lots of inclines and hills.

It went well.
