I am so not a track runner and I think I was the first person to run a track mile in this challenge! It is a bit of an abomination. Did 1 mile of recovery effort after an adventure on the North Country Half course yesterday, and as a warm-up to sport climbing at Lindseth with my friend Aimee. I love running + climbing!
I was short on steps, so I volunteered to hang out in Tburg after my daughter’s softball game while waiting to grab my son from a basketball carpool. As I was walking, I thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a shorter Challenge Course nearby?” as I wasn’t up for 8+ miles on the BDT. I’m glad I finally shook the cobwebs and remembered the Sweet 1600. I hit the track for two miles of walking.
Kind of seemed like everything was against me this afternoon: I over-ate, under-hydrated, my feet got soaked on the way to the horse track, the track was in rough shape after the winter and not being groomed yet, the backstretch was uphill and against the wind, and I wanted to go sub-7 but ended up with a 7:00.4…sometimes you just can’t win, but then there are baby horses to make everything better!
I had 8x100m strides at the end of my run this morning so decided to do them around the track to log my first Sweet 16 of the season. I will admit I stretched my strides out to a bit more than 100m each, especially that last one . A wet chilly morning for May.
