Notes

brain drain...forgot my running shorts! so to compensate my workout today was a vigorous trail hike...ordinarily I wouldn't include a hike/walk in my running stats, but I did work up a good sweat...I will consider this part of the cross-training that is reccomended in most training plans...I was hoping to get over 30 miles for the week...but came up short...feeling the effects of a head/sinus cold so if I did get a run in, chances are it wouldn't have been my best effort...had a chat with a father/son running duo back at base and they let me know about the Galloway run four minutes/walk a minute training plan...I may give it a try...for the hike I walked out the scenic road to the stairway trail...crossed the road and took the trail out to the St. Thomas Church Road field and then looped back the way I came...a good hike with hills, but the workout was nowhere near as intense as a good run...or even a mild run...I will probably use hikes as a cross-training workout from time to time in the future...felt good...
