watchung

45 min run at the Watchung Reservation in Summit, NJ, a little over 4mi covered


COMMENTS
  • General: Didn't run very long today because I didn't bring my handheld to NJ and the heat index here is about 100 degrees. Going at 2pm in a thick wooded forest didn't exactly help me outlast the elements. The Watchung reservation was beautiful. Single track that makes what I run on at home look like nothing special at all. Everything was connected and well maintained. I bought some Nuun tablets today to try out next week and hopefully bring to pace Contois in a few weeks.
  • Nutrition: OK, better than yesterday but I did have a sandwich for lunch
  • Body: My upper body is fatigued but not sore. Legs felt really tired and sore on the run which I attribute to the heat and the sprints I did yesterday.
  • Sleep: 8 hours
  • Reflections: When I get out of college the top 3 places I'm considering living are New Jersey, New York (not city) and Massachusetts. The trails in NJ are so awesome that at this point it's probably a front runner. Obviously job location plays a big part in that but places like the Watchung reservation make me really excited to maybe move down here some day. I can honestly say that if I lived here now and had access to places like this I would be a runner first and a strength athlete second, whereas I currently am the opposite. Resting tomorrow.
