Road Running 59:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 11
Run from the Archives down Adelphi Rd to University Blvd then up the Paint Branch Trail to Cherry Hill Rd, then down Rt. 1 back onto University and up Metzerrot Rd to the Archives. I've done this loop once before, but enough time has passed that I can't give too much of a comparison between them. I was actually feeling pretty distraught on my descent down Rt. 1, after the hill on Cherry Hill (duh) because I didn't think I was picking up as much speed as I had the last time I had run this way. However, the only thing I do remember about the last time I ran this loop was that I ran in exactly an hour because I HAD to be back in my building before 6:30 when they lock the doors - needless to say I watched my time carefully that time around. Since I ran today about a min faster I obviously wasn't going as slow as I thought I was, but I do think I was running all the hills slower and not recovering from them as quickly which would account for my distress over being slow. Really I should have run this loop significantly faster than I did, even though I did improve upon my last time. I blame my recent lack of motivation to get my butt out and run, also my total neglect to attempt any sort of speed/hill work out. I'm really starting to worry about how the MCM is going to go. I have enough time I think to get well enough prepared that I'll fininsh it OK, but it could be ugly.,,
