Notes
First off, mad respect to the lovely Immy Turner for telling me about Marriott's Way. Essentially it is this path that goes from the north end of Norwich to some other town that is 20 miles away. The first part of it was paved which was dumb but after that I the trail was dirt, there were less people around, and I was having a blast.
I was moving today. I was 36:30 on the way out and 34:59 on the way back. A large portion of the way back being so fast is due to the fact that I ran under 5:30 for the last mile of the run. I think I am in pretty great shape and just not particularly sharp at this point. Not totally sure when my next race is going to be. I think it will probably be in our dual meet on the track with University of Essex, who apparently sucks. I am not sure on what races are options for the meet since neither team is big enough to justify running the full spectrum of distances. More than likely I will just run whatever the furthest race is, which last year was a 3k.
One final highlight from the run was that on the way out some shit-bag of a kid (who was about 13) went out of his way to bike directly at me in an attempt to play chicken with me and impress his intellectually challenged friends. I just kept going as if he was not there and naturally he swerved out of the way to avoid me. He wasn't wearing a helmet and the path was still paved at this point so if I had been more on top of things I think giving him a nice shove would have panned out pretty well for me. But alas I did not think of this great idea until after he had passed
