Sun Oct 5: AM. Blew it! In Baraboo, ran 45 mins in Devil’s Lake State Park in search of a trail that was actually “runable”. All the trails were either too technical (steep-rocky-windy) or too crowded with people to break into a stride. Cut the run far shorter than I’d intended. Spent most of the day just hiking, swimming in the lake, and drinking beers. It was partly sunny and in the 70s.
Mon Oct 6: AM. A 60 min run on the Mendota Lakeshore Path to Picnic Pt. Darkness giving way to mostly cloudy skies, temp of 65°. PM. A 60 min run on the Capital City Trail and over trails in Olin Park. It was cloudy with a few sprinkles. Temp of 57°.
Tues Oct 7: AM. On the Cannonball Path with VURG, did a tempo mile then 3x5 mins fast with 3 min recoveries. It was dark and in the low 50s. PM. Ran two loops around Lake Wingra in 90 mins. The sun was setting over mostly clear skies with a temp in the low 60s.
Wed Oct 8: AM. A 60 min run on the Mendota Lakeshore Path to Picnic Pt. Darkness giving way to clear blue skies, temp around 40°. PM. A 75 min run around Lake Wingra and over trails in the arboretum. Left hamstring/groin is a bit achy. It was sunny and around 60°.
Thurs Oct 9: AM. Ran 25 mins to the Edgewood track, did 4x400m (70, 69,70,69), ran 25 mins back. Wanted to do at least a couple more 400s, but hamstring was bothering me. Felt ok otherwise. Darkness was giving way to clear skies with a temp of 36°. PM. No second run- resting leg.
Fri Oct 10: AM. No AM run. Took ice bath. PM. A 45 min run around Lake Wingra. The leg is still a little sore, but better. Hoping to run five miles fast tomorrow. It was sunny and 71°.
Sat Oct 11: AM. In Amherst for the Central Waters River Run 5 mile. Ran it in 27:42 (~5:32/mi) for 1st. I was a little worried about my sore leg going in, though thankfully it didn’t hurt a bit. The race was similar to last year- I led from the start and never had anyone near me. I tried to run the same time but ended up going a few seconds too fast. Oh well. Victory beers tasted good afterwards. Gorgeous day- mostly sunny and in the 50s.
Didn’t hurt a bit.
