Training Log Archive: ultra_amy

First XC race of the season. I warmed up just over 3 miles (the course plus a little bit), then we lined up. Ran well, but after the 2nd mile split I hoped I could crack 20-minutes...but got 20:09. Bummer!!! Cooled down around the course again.

Grossest run ever! Ok, maybe not...but it was so humid it was just nasty! We (Chris K., Molly, Erik and I) ran at 6am, and still were dripping immediately. We ran from the back of Sugarloaf, and did an out-and-back on the Ridge Trail, then did a lap of the mountain bike trails to make the full 2 hours. I wanted to run more, but without company (and in that weather), I went home instead. :)

Early morning run w/ Eric at the Notch - we did an out-and-back on the Mt. Norwottuck side, and then tacked on a few more miles at Earl's trails. Legs feel mostly ok...

Ran around Sugarloaf - ran w/ Brian for the first section, then was joined by Molly, Eric and Howie. Howie continues to be a bad luck charm...as I fell and banged up my knee towards the end of the run. But, otherwise it was a good run.

Easy trail run at the Notch with Jason - snuck in ~3 miles before Jason and I ran 'the loop' around the trails. Did most of the run by headlamp - bummer! But, felt good to be running again - after so many travel/logistical/non-training days! Gotta get back into training mode.

Easy spin...woke up at around 4am (still on Europe time), so I opted to work out. Turns out I was exhausted and it was 1000% humid by the end of the day - so good thing I at least spun in the morning.
