ran from the ttc through brookline in a round-about way then weaved up along the riverway to the water fountain at jamaica pond. returned back to the ttc via the riverway and brookline towngreen shortcut.
awesome to be back and running w/ everyone. dinner at bertucci’s followed mmmmmmm
ran from home to the school, then ran w/ devina in the trails again before returning home on the roads. 8×100m strides on good ol’ paramount way after the run. opted for the pool run cool-down (10 mins).
ran w/ devina then did strides on the track. definitely the best strides have felt all summer.
CRCKrun13: i just randomly flapped my arms via excitement lol
wish i could’ve done this run every sunday. started at home and ran to manasquan via the bike trail (starting at hospital rd). my dad rode his bike w/ me which was great (esp. b/c he could stop at the store and buy water when i felt really parched). hopped in the ocean right after the run…felt good on the ol’ legs. topped the run off w/ lunch at gee gee’s, doesn’t get much better than that!
2 mile warm-up, 5 miles hard, 5 miles easy.
my dad rode his bike w/ me while i ran. felt good except for a killer sidestitch about 4 miles in.
ran w/ devina again, nice and easy.
it’s weird going back and running w/ the team now because there are only 2 girls i know and the coach is different. i love it though and almost makes me want to coach someday. the runs w/ devina really fit into my schedule and it’s nice to know that we’re both getting something out of them.
went to hartshorne again w/ tim. nothing too crazy except for a time trial/race on a portion of trail that’s a bit tricky. thought i was flying but tim beat me 4:49 to 4:56.
ran w/ devina for my warm-up then did the usual stride routine. mixed it up w/ a different kind of workout 2x(400, 400, 800). just for a change of pace, har d ar ar! i feel slow as crap, but it’s all good. cooled down to maple and back.
met up w/ the hs team for a real easy run through the trails. finished up w/ 8×100m strides, always good. a lot cooler than yesterday so tomorrow’s workout should be fine.
surfed again a bit today. got bit several times by crabs and now there’s jellyfish all over, but other than that twas good!
after further thought and discussion, i’ve decided to not do the triathlon on sunday and instead just get in a nice week of training. hard to pass up the chance, but i know it’s the smarter thing to do.
tried to beat the heat by running early, but that didn’t happen. probably the hottest run all summer and i felt like i was about to keel over. the last 3-4 miles weren’t pretty.
spent the rest of the day at the beach laying around and surfing. beautiful!
