Training Log Archive: Nadim

In Minneapolis/St. Paul. From Montrose La., across the bridge over the Mississippi River and along the river on the bike trail to the Lake Dr. bridge; back across the river and along the trail past Summit Ave. to the first bridge. Turned around and came back to Randolph Ave. to Montrose. La. but then turned left out and back to St. Clair Rd. before finishing. Started easy with Peggy again, running around 9 min/mile. I ran the last 2.5-3.0 alone and faster. Lots of runners were out marathon training along w/many cyclists. Again, the route was very pretty.

In Minneapolis/St. Paul today visiting Peggy's parents. Starting from Montrose La., to Minnehaha Falls & trails around there to the Mississippi River, then back to the river trail allong Mississippi River Rd. to Summit Ave. then back to Montrose La. Ran easy with Peggy but I was feeling sluggish. The last few miles I ran alone and picked it up. It was very pretty.

Bowie to New Carrollton. Hadn't biked in a while due to rain and other activities. I felt okay starting but not strong on hills. There was a headwind the last half.

New Carrollton to Bowie. The maganet for my cycle computer got off alignment so I estimated my time. I rode back in the twilight after a longish day at work. It seemed like a headwind coming back and I didn't seem very strong.

At UMD Track w/PGRC. Warm-up of 3.3k Fartlek of 10x200m with +200m jog in-between--?,35,35,35,34,35,34,34,34,34. A little tired from yesterday and from little sleep. They were also having a school cookout right next to the track causing a wafting of flavors that made me hungry more than choked me. Warm-down of 3.3k. Hip area a little with some pain. Warm and very humid weather.

From Carderock Park, MD; C&O Towpath to Mile 15 and back. After another long day of shopping, it was a little humid but with moderate temperatures. Hip hurting a little at the end.

Roads & Trails around Northridge, Bowie. Ran w/Peggy in the drizzle after a long day of shopping.
