A Shorter Run with my Running Club
Last night I decided I was recovered enough to run with my running club. I got home late from work so just had enough time to change and rush to the trail head arriving a few minutes before we started running (6 p.m.). It was a mild 21C/70F outside, partly cloudy, but at least no rain. I chatted with some of the runners before we headed out.
I started out with the normal group that I ran with, but with the intention of dropping back if they started running too fast. Two from the group ran on ahead but the rest of the group didn’t seem to be in any real hurry. I stayed with them for roughly 5K, then took a shortcut back to the trailhead, 8K/5M was enough running during my recovery week. One of the group turned off with me, he has been having some groin problems and it was painful for him to run. We ran at an easy pace back to the parking lot. I stayed around and chatted with various members of the group as they arrived back at the trailhead, it was nice catching up on the latest news.
This morning my legs are in pretty good shape, I don’t think I have ever felt so good, so quickly after a long race. I want to go for another shorter run on Friday night, probably 8K/5M at an easy pace. On Saturday I plan on driving to Weingarten and running my hilly route for an hour or two.
Have a nice day.
