Got up this morning and scouted out the area. There is NOTHING remotely flat around here. But Pupe told me there were trails over at Big Cedar, and I figured at least those shouldn't be too horribly mountainous. Which was true as far as that goes, but they definitely are very hilly. I found a trail marked "5K Run" and decided to follow it. Went all the way to the end, which was more than 2 miles, so I don't think there's anything 5K about it. Wound up running 4.55.
I think I may do a double today. After I got back to the condo, found an actual map of the property showing the trail. I had run most of it, but not all. I could go back and do all of it, or just do the two-mile out and back again. That would give me a 9-mile plus day. Then do intervals on the treadmill at the fitness center tomorrow before I go back.
Update: Double done. Did 5.3 on the treadmill, plus the .3 to and from the fitness center. Total of 10-plus for the day. Not an overly strenuous day for a double-digit double. Still working on that enormous basket of crab legs, sausage and shrimp I had at Joe's on the river this afternoon, so this burned off some of those calories. |
