Training Log Archive: K8RUNS

RUN 2--Run at Patapsco with the Trail Junkies and Niki. I didn't get into this run. After every 3-mile loop, I stopped for a while to socialize. I decided to chalk this day up as a fun day in the woods.

RUN 3--Run on the W&OD. The plan was to run one mile warm-up and then three miles with Fartleks and then 4 miles at a moderate pace. However, on the way out, I was running uphill and into the sun, so the Fartleks overheated me a bit. I didn't bring water because I thought the water fountain in Herndon would be enough, but I should've brought water. After six miles, I was toast, so I ran/walked the seventh mile. The last mile, though, I felt better and ran it in 10:28--even faster than my first mile. Good workout when all was said and done.

WALK 1--Leisurely walk on local trails with Niki.

RUN 4--Run on local trails with Niki. I felt pretty good considering I ran 20 miles on Sunday. I gained some weight, which I don't understand, except that maybe I originally lost it too quickly. I'm working hard to exercise and eat right. Right now, I am retaining fluid, which could account for a few pounds.
