Training Log Archive: Nadim

In Greenbelt Park, MD. w/PGRC. Parked at the Park HQ and ran to the Sweetgum parking lot, then did the Perimeter Trail w/Jim, then back to the Park HQ. I felt very weak the last 2 miles. The trail was soft and I didn't feel my hip too much. Forgot my watch so I'm estimating time.

From Quill Point Dr., across the RR tracks at Springfield Rd. the roads around the Severn Crossing neighborhood. Was glad to verify that I could get across the tracks easily at night. I wandered looking for new areas to make a loop but mostly had to return the same way I went out.

30 push-up's and 45 sit-up's.

From Quill Point Dr., Fletchertown Rd. to Bell Station Rd. to the WB&A Trail, to Rte. 450, turn around and go to Hillmeade Rd. to Fletchertown Rd. to Quill Point Rd. Last did this route in early October. Started slow again. I'd been feeling lazy and less motivated after the US Championships; perhaps the shorter days, the rain and working late earlier in the week did it. I picked it up at the turn around and was only doing about 7:00 minute miles until then. The last mile was in the 6:20's. I'm surprised I was feeling strong for most of the run since I hadn't been running far lately. The night was perfect (in the low 50's) for a run and I felt much better for doing it. My hip had started hurting again since last week--not sure if it's the colder weather or more use. Maybe it's getting old. I ran much faster last year.

Sit-ups, push-ups, and mostly upper body work with dumb bells.

From the UMD Track, to Cole Field House, warm-up for 10 minutes running fast around the seats, one circuit of stadium steps for 10 minutes, then another 10 minutes of running fast. It was raining hard again and I got there too late for a longer run because I had to vote.

Warm-up for Day 2 of the U.S. Championships in Prince Williams Forest. Did the String-O course and loops around the field before jogging down to the start near the Pine Grove Picnic Area.

Day 2 of the U.S. Championships in Prince William Forest. Ran much better than Day 1 though I had a few problems still. See the Split List.

Warm-down after U.S. Championships and control pickup.
