MP Loop Run

(2019-03-31 10:47:43) 下一个

Run w/ L on MP today going up the Ohlone side and coming 
down Horse Heaven Trail.

I ran 8.2 miles yesterday and didn't have a great sleep and 
thought I would do poorly. But I did great overall. My
glutes were strong and going up felt effortless. Once at the
foot of the summit, I went straight to the pole. I was
surprised by my own energy but did steer clear of the cattle 
to be safe. Up there, I did some stretching and one rep of
Surya Namaskar and felt good. The only stretch where my feet
felt tired was the mile after the muddy downhill leg. Horse
Heaven was human hell. But before that, we were passed by
another runner. That was impressive.

I rinsed my feet at the Stanford Ave trailhead and we ran at 
a very leisurely pace back to our cars at Pine St. along Mission
Blvd. L had to change into another pair of shoes to go for a 
second loop. My Xeros paid.

So it took us in total about 9miles in 2hrs. I think for my 
training, I will do the loop twice for 18 miles. But first,
I can try on my usual route for about 15 miles. I don't even 
need to go to the summit on my second ascent. I'll just go
as far as my feet don't hurt.

Thank you for a safe and joyful run.

GraceX 回复 悄悄话 有时候运动太多反而会影响睡眠。想象了一下你跑的线路,那里我太熟悉了,不过最近好久没去了,因为今年雨水特别的充沛,想必那里一定非常漂亮。下个星期又要下雨了,估计你下个周末去跑的话,一定更会踩得双脚都是泥了:)
暖冬cool夏 回复 悄悄话 Wow, 8.2 mile and 9 miles in a row. Hope you will sleep well tonight, and drink water. It is warm and dry here these days.
