Training Log Archive: PG

Hard work again, but at least the little bit of chatter afterwards indicated that I wasn't the only one feeling it. But I'm sticking with it, and doing stuff on my own regularly.

Some more ideas for things to work on to keep from falling so much.

Yesterday: (ygE), yes a capital E for lots of progress. :-)

Planning on the Mt. Toby loop later, supposed to be cold rain (and will be dark the last half). Good mental training for Virginia. But only if I actually do it.

Mt. Toby loop with Dave, Rob, Donna, and Sara. Started a little earlier, 5:15, so got just about a hour done before the lights were needed. The good news was it hardly rained at all and it wasn't that cold (mid 40s). The bad news was that my legs felt like crap, quads were feeling it and left butt was getting a little sore. I guess it was overdue, the last few times out I've been feeling pretty good.

So I struggled a bit, walked a little bit more on the steep sections, then ran a little faster on the downs to catch back up, even in the dark. I think doing some training running at night may actually make you better running at night. Funny how that works. And no falls! One close call but saved it.

And the last 20 minutes was nice, downhill mostly, and also being entertained by Sara, who does a lot of public defender work at the appeals level and has a case coming up before the SJC (our state supreme court) in a couple of weeks. The good conversation made a world of difference in the enjoyment of the run.

Think I will take it easy the next few days before trashing myself this weekend at Mt. Tom
