Watchman Trail

It was a rest week on the 50K training front…thank goodness!  I really desperately needed a rest week.  We are nearing end game of our product at work and I am really busy trying to lead up an effort to hire some talented engineers to our group and so needless to say life has been a whirlwind.  I also am still fighting with the tail tail-end of this never-ending cold turned sinus infection so having an hour and a half run this weekend is welcome rest for the weary.

Since I did not post much except complaining about our four-hour doozy last weekend, I thought I would share some pictures that Anna captured from her iPhone.  We did a short loop around Boise, followed by a beautiful yet slightly grueling jaunt back into the Boise foothills on notorious trails such as the switchbacks, Shane’s, Three Bears, Watchman and then ending on Rocky Canyon Road with all of the people training for the Race to Robie Creek which takes place a day before our 50K, Skyline to Sea.
