Notes
Went to Jon's group run at Stony Creek, which meets in the Eastwood Beach lot now. We had a bigger turnout this week, and our run also coincided with a huge 5k race starting from the same location. I went out with the collegiate and Romeo guys, which did not end well. Kevin Salter had a GPS watch and said we hit 6:30 for the first mile. The guys picked it up a lot from there while I sauntered off to the Oak Grove trails about 2 miles into the lake loop.
Ditching the pavement for the trails helped my sore legs out a little bit, and I stopped worrying about pace (every quarter mile on the pavement is marked). I felt pretty tired and burnt out, even after taking yesterday off, which is unusual. I really need to get back in shape.
Even though I've been feeling physically unfit, running at parks with different people on such a routine basis has been making me really love my training lately. :) I'm excited to get my mileage back up and to start doing strength training and workouts soon enough.
