This morning I headed over to Goucher College for a track workout. Since I’m still recovering from the MCM, it’s too early to even start thinking about a speed workout. However, since I heard good things from the Baltimore Road Runner’s Club on the Goucher track (i.e., they regularly meet at this track), I wanted to check it out. Plus I figured it was a good opportunity to work on my form while knocking out some miles without worrying about the traffic and everything else that a big city like Baltimore entails. So after a brief warm-up jog to the track, I proceeded to run 31 laps before a nice cool-down jog. In total, I completed 8.2 miles at a relatively relaxed pace (i.e., 7:36 minutes per mile). By the way, the Goucher track is pretty neat in that it’s Olympic size (i.e., eight lanes and a steeple chase hurdle) and it’s located down an embankment from the school surrounded by woods. Supposedly there is a scenic trail through these woods that the school’s cross-country team practices on. I’ll have to check this trail out next time I venture over to Goucher.
For my daily non-running workout I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
