Easy jog through the meadow and then the yellow trail. I am really feeling that delayed onset muscle soreness today. my whole body aches. At least I know I worked hard yesterday.

Event: Wissahickon Trail Classic
 

A 10k-ish trail run. They keep making the course longer every year so I end up running around the same time. Really frustrating because I can't easily measure development then. Still I was rolling during this run and my trail fitness isn't as high as it's been in years past. Rolled my left ankle twice and now it's quite sore. The pack I was in had all of their gps watches beep at 2:30 for the first half and that was partly uphill. I checked a split along the drive and I clocked in at 2:59 for a half late in the race. I was rolling but the time doesn't reflect in comparison to last year or two years ago. It was fun though, somewhat dangerous at points running downhill.

15 minute warmup to temp and 30 minute cooldown with Clem and Wyatt.

Easy run on the Wissahickon trails to get prepped for tomorrow. Did a little race pace running just to get a feel for it. I felt pretty good and actually felt like I could break 40 today. Now just imagine what I can do with race prep.

Plyo training with 100 meter strides in between. 45 seconds this time. Still really really difficult.

Another tired and hot run on mud level. Rest day tomorrow. I hope I'm getting acclimated fast because this heat is affecting every aspect of my day. Other than that it's nice to get my run done in the morning.

Very hot run on News Chronicle this morning. It's tough to get moving very quickly in this heat. I survived though.

Morning run with Bboyer. Very hot out. I'm glad I got it done in the morning acclimating to the heat and sun out here is tough.
