Notes
6 hours sleep. Ran 2.5 hours after dinner. This was second race in the GR Running Club race points series. Race was at Fallsburg Park in Lowell on blacktop, gravel and trails. First section of trail running was brutal (1 -2 miles) up and down lots of hills, some very steep grades. Last section of trail was okay. Anyway, felt pretty good except for being out of breath on first section of trail. Finished second in age group, so I was okay with that. First place guy was about three minutes ahead of me. I definitely need to start doing some hill work to get more used to the stress. Left shin was a little sore after the run. I thnk the downhill pounding is causing the problem. This occured after the Kent City and Striders races also which had lots of hills. Iced it when I got home. Didn't do any stretching after the run.
