It was a perfect day for a jog on the Minuteman Bike Path... and I did all 8 miles I was aiming for with very little pain. Extremely sore in the calf area now of course, but I'm hanging in tonight with my friends ice and ibuprofen.
8 miles, total time 1h 24min, average pace 10:30 min/mile. I'll take it!
Stretching, very very important. The Huzz roller bladed and met up with me towards the end for the not so flattering shot above. The Minuteman has a particular way of crushing one's time (and making one suffer) at the end. The last mile is a long straight away and a steady climb. Except, it doesn't look like a steady climb and the straight away looks like it should fly by but it becomes never ending. I pushed myself so hard today, wanting to end the run strong. I thought I had picked up the pace... ha! I couldn't breath when I finished and my last split was an 11 min/mile!
In conclusion-
Minuteman Bike path: beautiful. hard.
and Huzz: great company : ) nice wheels.
and, and homemade apple pie: the perfect after run dinner. mmmmm
