Run 28:00 [2]
shoes: Inov-8 Mudlcaw 330 August 2009
From Oak Grove. I found the Northwest Passage! And all is good.
Run 54:00
shoes: Inov-8 Mudlcaw 330 August 2009
With Brendan, around the Fells--mostly on the Skyline Trail.
I felt like we started fast (or faster than last time) and finished slower. Maybe. But, in the end, we ran pretty much the same time.
I felt more disjointed at first and had to work to stay up with Brendan on the downhills. But, at least on a relative basis, I was much better from halfway onwards.
I made no attempt to push the pace (up or down) in the second half, and my legs felt generally less agile than last week. I guess I was still strong enough going up though.

Run 27:00 [2]
Back to Oak Grove. Took a trail directly across Fellsway East. And meandered a bit.
But, I think the way back was still faster, and I definitely felt better than I did on the same leg last week. Maybe because I didn't run as hard earlier?

Note
Random notes:
• I lost the first nobb on my Mudclaws today.
• I definitely think Wrights Pond should be mapped so that we have a map the whole way across the Fells. And Boojum should be mapped across Fellsway East, to the edge of the forest. If we got that done, and the Fells maps itself is done (which it will be soon) CSU would have a prodigious amount of mapped, quasi-interesting terrain in/near an urban core.
• Brendan suggested plyometrics to improve my downhill running. He may have a point. I used to love plyometrics. In the old days, they made me strong. The problem is the last time I tried, jumping type exercises bothered my ankle, and that was before the latest tweak at the Relay arena at WOC.
