Been running a lot of the weekday training runs on the treadmill at the gym. Walking distance from the office, proximity of a shower, and the occasional chance to catch a Sox game in the evenings have just made the gym more convenient of late. However, the weekend runs continue.
This last Saturday's was a 6 miler along the west side of the bosque south of Bernalillo. Absolutely gorgeous, especially the middle two miles; gravel trail weaving in and out of the cottonwoods, sunflowers growing in 8ft. high walls on either side of the trail in other spot. And easily the fastest 6 miles I've ever run.
Tonight I went to the group's track work out for the first time in a long time. This was the night we'd be shooting for PR's in the mile. Jogged a 1/2 mile warm up, did the mile in 10:40 (fastest I think I've ever run a mile, and a good 20 seconds faster than the the time my coach had told me to shoot for), and then jogged another 1/2 mile cool-down. Weather was cool and windy with some pretty good rain about halfway through. Running in the Fall weather is awesome.
Hopefully it'll hold for this weekend's 12 miler.
