Training Log Archive: Nadim

In Greenbelt Park. I got to the PGRC practice late and ran the Perimeter Trail by myself. There were lots of trees down blocking my way. It was still very wet and very slippery too. It looked like a rainforest with the sun filtering through the mist and the trees and the leaves glistening wet.

In Bowie, MD. From Quill Point Dr., once around the block and add-on Quarum Pl./Quest La. It was hotter than it was in Texas.

In Fort Worth, TX. From the parking lot at River Park along the Trinity River, SE on the Trinity Trail to River Park Rd. and back. The paved trail ended after about 1 mile (upstream and with the wind) but continued through a gated residential neighborhood (apparantly common here) along the river. At River Park Rd. the trail started again but I had a friend from work who was waiting for me to return for dinner so I turned back there (18:36). On the return, I pushed a little, feeling better than yesterday (it was a cool windy 75F and had rained earlier) but a little sore too.

In Fort Worth, TX. From the parking at River Park near Bryant Irvin Rd., NE on the Trinity Trail. I ran almost half a mile past Hulen St. (17:12). It was sunny and very hot--about 30F hotter than I've been used to. The 95F wind blew behind me about 20mph on the way out. It melted me coming back. Here for work I had some dinner obligations and a late tour that kept me too full to run the last two days.

At Patuxent River Park (Jug Bay), MD. QOC's Beer Chase. Mass start with 3 loops and 4 beers on a forked course. I ran okay but got confused again about which leg I was on. This contributed to Eddie passing me and placing 4th. It was fun and not too wet on the course--even with the unmapped pond crossings.
