I’d decided to run on a night that offered perfect weather for going fast. I decided on my favorite trail where I’d recently run 26:43 and been very pleased. On that night, I’d not been trying for a fast time, so the pressure was on.
I didn’t really run too aggressively, something I don’t like to do on trails full of tree roots and other objects that could send me sprawling with a twisted ankle. I certainly didn’ want to jepordize my trip to the Adirondacks with the kids, either. I pushed...but with some control. I hit my first check point about 6 seconds ahead of the time I’d doine last week, but knew I’d make the biggest difference over the last mile. And I did. I finished in 25:58, a full 45 seconds faster than my previous best and a time that left me feeling fit and ready for the mountains.
I relocated to the start of my Survival Workout and did three sets of exercises before getting caught up in finding golf balls. I’d noticed a few on the edge of the woods, someplace I don’t often look, and suddenly they were popping up everywhere. In no time at all, I’d accumulated 41 balls, which were stretching my shirt where I was cradling them and gave me a second pr for the day. I’d already decided against any more of the Survival routine and made this the rest of my workout. It was a good cooldown and I think I now have enough balls to begin a little side business selling golf balls back to the guys who’ve been hitting...and losing them.
