Notes
Temp 74 Wind 9 mph. Humidity 91% Dew Point 69°.
R4G 5K Warm-Up and Cool-Down. Nasty out here this morning. Feel pretty good. Wanted to check out the Rock Creek Circle tangent and then the turnoff onto the LaCroix Trail, so jog the course out just past the one-mile split to the Lexington overpass and back. 2.13 miles at 7:24 average pace. Enough of a wind to notice it running south, and humid enough to overheat when its at your back running north.
Quick hydration, then drills and striders for 8:10 minutes. Back to car for final preps, then a couple more striders (off watch) in my flats.
Been fretting about my volume for the year, so take an extended easy cool-down. Kingshighway to Mo Run Co, then pick up the trail again. Cross paths with Ben N., so turn around and head back out with him to chat. Ben is 15 years old and will be a 10th grader next year. Won the OA 10K today in 34:XX. Impressive. Total Down = 2.43 miles at 7:52 average pace.
