| | Warm evening run (80) on 11th-Shore Drive. Legs felt heavy, but not painful or stiff. Easy pace, no watch, plenty of stretching following. supernova glide | | Add Comment |
| | Warm evening run, more muggy than usual because of some thunderstorms brewing. After standing around for an hour at track practice I ran mile repeats on the track, getting progressively faster and then slowed on the last one. 7:00, 6:45, 6:05, 5:50, 6:50 I felt ok and probably should have tried to hit one more faster mile, or more wisely added in one between the 6:45 and 6:05. supernova glide | | Add Comment |
| | Illahee Preserve, evening run, pleasant outside, not too warm at all. Easy-to-medium pace, very comfortable and then a little more brisk on the downhills. Felt healthy overall, a little soreness here and there in the left groin. 40:04 brooks cascadia | | Add Comment |
| | Morning run on Green Mountain before heading to work late. It was warm (enough, I suppose, maybe 75), and I had the forest mostly to myself until I started passing the motos on my way down. Good to get it done with quietly. My legs were good to start, but the left groin and hip flexor started in at a little under an hour. Not so much on climbs, but definitely on all descents. I ran down slower than usual, just taking it easy, my groin was really screaming for the last two miles or so. Wildcat to the Horse Camp in 22 minutes; Beaver Pond to Gold Creek junction in 23:39; Plummer/Gold Creek to the Beaver Pond junction in 26:11 (Plummer is longer but less steep than the Beaver Pond approach); to Summit in 9:56; return via Wildcat (rathe than Beaver Pond, mostly due to the pain in my leg) in 44:56. 2:06:43 total, which is a little slower than I have run that. Still a good run and nice morning. I was feeling fatigued by the finish, so also a good run training-wise. brooks cascadia 8 | | Add Comment |
| | Mid-morning run, I waited until the sun came out. Never hurts to train in a little heat (yes, just a little) to get ready for Afton. Started slowly and felt a little creaky through 2 miles, then actually loosened up nicely and ran a pretty brisk 7:10 pace, then slowed a bit on the last mile in. 8-mile out and back on Tracyton Beach Road. Felt really good afterward, actually. 59:04 supernova glide | | Add Comment |
