Light Run

39 Minute Run on Powerline trail at Riverlin St. Trails. I brought my girlfriend out to trail run with me and because it was only her second time and this course is particularly rocky we went at a very conservative pace. Likely only covered 3-3.5 miles total.

2 "rounds" of minutes of 2 min hot, 2 min cold plunging my feet in water (epsom salt in the hot water), then massaged the muscles in my feet thoroughly

  • General: And now we play the waiting game. Today wasn't really about getting better at running. Instead I was just trying to keep my heart rate up while putting a few miles out and not taking a full rest day. It's more important to note that Allie likes running with me and wants to find a goal race we can sign up for. Probably like a trail 10k or something That'll be something to monitor if it comes to fruition.... always fun to run with new people.
  • Nutrition: Alright not flawless
  • Body: Felt pretty good today but tired overall.
  • Sleep: 8.5 hours or so
  • Reflections: The next few days will be about resting, getting adequate sleep and being careful with what I eat and do. I've only got 9 total hours of work over the next 2 days and since I'm on spring break my plans should play out with no problems. I'll probably go on a few walks over the next 48 hours. I keep saying that I'm going to begin packing now, but anyone who knows me knows I'm a lazy procrastinator and I likely won't begin packing until Thursday night. Also, the race directors had to change some stuff because of permits and such in the county next to where the race starts, so as of now I don't really know when/where the aid stations are.
