AM 16 in 2:02:24 (7:39). Started at 5:40 AM behind the movie theaters in the Riverwoods and ran 8 up and 8 down. Surprising felt really good, which was odd because my legs have not felt good the last two days. Right when I turned around in South Fork and started running back down, all of a sudden I heard something to my left. When I looked over there was a moose running parallel to me about 20 yards away. I stopped, and it kept going and it turned and headed away. I'll admit, I got a little scared when I saw it running. I now believe that they are as fast as people say they are. And they are huge. It sprinkled on me on the way back and there were tons of people in the canyon. Went to Crossfit after running. Next week I will ramp back up the mileage to around 60. Hopefully my legs will respond to the recovery week I had this week. |
