I'm back on the horse this week. Sunday was a 14 miler at an honest pace on the Seneca Greenway from Berryville Road to Rt. 118 and back. I had some mild back pain last week that flared up after the run and was incredibly uncomfortable the rest of the day. I was a bit worried but it has been much better since--I attribute it to having to duck so many times for low branches on some of the poorly maintained sections of the trail.Each day this week has been pretty cold--I've been running in temperatures between 45 and 50 degrees. While I'd prefer it to be about 10 degrees warmer, I'm not complaining as this is the best weather I'm gonna get for the next few months.
I traveled to the Towers this morning to try out a new type of workout. I successfully measured an exact 2k loop around the perimeter of the field so that I can now run continuous loops with accurately measured 200 meter marks for as long as I so desire. This allows me to have an exact measure on how much I've run and do intervals of any specified distance on grass without wearing a watch. I think I'm gonna go ahead and run here a lot now. Today I did 800 (40%), 800 easy, 800 (60%), 800 easy, 1600 (40%), 800 easy, 800 (60%), 800 easy, 800 (60%) and it went quite well. I pushed myself and felt great afterward--I'm definitely fit.
