Today's run was to judge where I am at and try to make a plan for UVM. From the get go my legs felt extremely tired. Still waiting for them to spring back to life.
Ran on the JRP to 2100 South and then got lost a few times trying to find my hubby's work. It worked out perfectly though, since I ended up with exactly 15 miles upon arrival.
I had one scary moment though ... I was running on part of the trail when out of nowhere this older looking guy, not well kept, came down a side hill on his bike. He jumped off of the bike and started chasing me. My fears were eliminated fairly quickly as I looked back after what seemed like a long time (but was probably only 10 seconds or so) and he had already stopped. I think he was not all there. But it sure scared me.
After running the marathon pace miles (which I am now counting as anything under 8:12) I took it really easy (except for the short encounter previously mentioned) and kind of lolligagged along, stopping at a Maverick to get some more fluids, stopping at the E Center to take some pictures of high school grads with their families, asking for directions, and so forth. So not sure how helpful this run was.
I have decided that I will run UVM like I did Ogden. A hard training run, but not full on out race. |
