Training Log Archive: Spike

2 x ~ 10 minutes of running to warm up before each race.

Chicago middle distance M40 at Busse Woods. It took me 400 meters (and a good 6 minutes!) to understand the map. After that things worked pretty well. Fun.

Sprint at Chicago Busse Woods.

Buckley started ahead of me and I told the starter, "I'll give him at least 2 minutes so I don't see him in the forest." The starter said something like, "oh 2 minutes, you won't see Buckley."

I caught up to Buckley at about the half way point. Apparently Eric had been making some mistakes. I don't know where he went from 6, but he passed me on the way to the last control.

Fun sprint. Legs shot by the end of the day.

Jogging at PNS. Saw a lot of turkeys out there.

Easy jog around the neighborhood - felt good.

Easy jogging at PNS.

Near the end I stopped and chatted with a couple who I see once a week or so. They hike around the park and we also exchange "hi"s. It turns out they walk in the park 6 days a week and have donated one of the benches along the trail (which has their names Wilburn and Venietta engraved on a plaque attached to the bench).

Shuffled around on the map at Heartland, checking locations and legs for the upcoming PTOC training camp.

I wore the knee brace on my right knee. It might have made a bit of difference in how I felt running. I'll try it for the next few runs.

Warm out there today.
