Training Log Archive: maprunner

Re-run of a course from last summer. I should say "repeat" since I only ran half of it. My legs are still tired and sore from weights this week, and they always feel weird when I get off the bike, So I walked a lot in the beginning, then did some running, then walked again when I got tired.

My goal was to beat my time from last year (53 minutes). It was an even match: last year I made a huge mistake and wandered too long, and I didn't finish the course. This year I was walking but tried to be clean. I also did the course backwards to add a bit of a challenge.

Riding to and from the Arboretum, plus some extra. I needed to be sure to hit 6 hours for the week. I've been getting a bit lazy this year about sticking to my training goal for the week, and I want to get back in the habit.

Nice run on campus. I used part of the Robinson gym map, which has big changes (new business school building where the tennis courts used to be).

Since many folks are running at West Point today, I felt I would join them in spirit and do a long run (but no big hills :) I warmed up a bit, then jogged continuously for 30 minutes to give myself some 5K practice. I haven't run in a couple of weeks and it showed. But I felt better as time went on, especially when I started throwing in walking breaks. Warm and sunny when I was out, but I had dressed for cool and rainy (most of today) so I was overdressed.
