Ran about forty miles last week which was the best week miles wise I've had in well over a month. Took a long run last Sunday morning, crossed Snow's Cut Bridge and got onto River Road ...ran River all the way up to Cathay Road...Cathay to Carolina Beach Road and down CB Road to Bonaire where I stopped at a friend's house. Run took an hour and thirty four minutes; later I clocked the distance to be about 11.5 miles. Best long run that I have had again in well over a month.
Did a tempo style run Wednesday evening. Picked up the pace pretty hard on the trails in the woods of the State Park for ten to eleven minutes... then again the last 1/2 mile to 3/4 miles snaking back towards the boardwalk and beach. Felt good pushing it, not too hard, but good solid steady exertion. Went today as the evening waned for an easier, smooth 7.5 miles, though my legs were a bit heavy and my hamstrings tighter.
Looking at doing a 5K race down by the Aquarium at Fort Fisher past Kure Beach next Sunday morning (the 19th). Had debated a little about a doing a 5K up near Wilmington last Saturday but decided there was no need to push things and run a race when i was just starting to feel strong again physically, as well as physiologically from the flu enduced layoff. Should be a neat run too down on that part of the island in the middle of springtime, lots of natural scenery.
