the Way of the Turtle

5.8 Mile Run in the Albany Pine Bush
Friday, June 19, 2009

Tough run today, in part possibly because my legs are still a bit tired from Wednesday's trek around Grafton and Pittstown, but also because it was surprisingly warm and humid today - and with all the cool weather we've had this spring and early summer I'm just not acclimated.

Popped my knee slightly teaching karate last night but it seems to be recovering nicely... should hold up to Sunday's 13.5 mile race up and over Mt Greylock just fine (of course, covering the course a second time to pick up all the markers may do me in... but I really want to get in one more long run before July 4th, and that will definitely fit the bill.
