It was going to be tough but I wanted to get up early for my weekly group train run. Woke up at 0600 and headed out to the forest. Weird weather though. All week it was very cold in the morning, usually mid 30s. I wore shorts and a long sleeve and brought my hat. Got out there at it was low 50s plus humidity. I would have been fine in shorts and a tshirt. Ah well.
Ran the regular outer loop, coming out to about 9mi. Pretty big group, and we had the addition of 4 guys from the road running club. They come out to the forest once in a while.
I started off in front with a couple of the older guys, but we were going really slow. Maybe 5min into it, the 4 road runners pass us on a downhill and I decide that I'll try to stick with them as long as possible. Stuck behind them for 10 minutes before 3 of the guys left me and another dude. Then a few minutes after that, the other guy stopped to stretch and I kept on going. Ran basically the latter 2/3 of the course by myself. It was tough, but I finished in 1:11.
Recovered for a few minutes, then got my 20lbs vest and 50lbs pack on and did 2 rounds of 20 walking lunge steps followed by 20 calf raises. Legs did not like.
