Training Log 2008.02.16 – 02.17
Saturday: Ran with Jon L at the Wildwood Lake Sanctuary near Harrisburg. There is a nice ~ 5k loop around the lake, about half of which has rolling hills (although they didn’t feel quite as rolling during the Harrisburg Marathon). One mile of the loop has a nice woodchip covered trail, but on Saturday morning it was covered with snow and a glaze of ice. We decided to stay on the paved part of the loop, and also twice ran the not-scenic-at-all-hence-the-name Industrial Road to go between the two ends of the park. It was a pretty nice distance and hill workout, we ended up covering 12.1 miles and averaged about an 8:36/mile clip.
Sunday: Met Nathan in Carlisle. We tried hitting the Carlisle Barracks, but the trail was too slippery, so we did a street run for 5 miles at about a 9:10/mile pace and then grabbed some breakfast at a diner. In the afternoon I played about 35 minutes of Racquetball with Mark. Mark won the first game (which was really the tie-breaker from last Sunday’s match), and the next game. I picked up the 3rd game of the day and then we had to call it quits.
