Greenbelt Park Perimeter Trail w/Howard from PGRC. Started easy but picked-up the pace. I didn't intend to go this fast but with Howard leading I got into a stride and loosened-up. My hip/back still hurts and ached afterward.

From Windsor Green, Research Rd. into BARC, to Powder Mill Rd. to Springfield Rd. to Good Luck Rd. to Windsor Green via Greenbelt Rd. Body was tired so I thought a ride would make it better. I meant to ride into work but the forecast was for rain. The evening was nice and the ride loosened me up. No time for a longer ride.

At dusk, from Windsor Green, Good Luck Rd. to Auburn Ave. to Riverside Rd. to the NE Branch Trail, to Edmonston Rd. to Windsor Green via Old Greenbelt. Started out under 7 min. pace but I tired on uphills. I was feeling the cummulative effects of the increased training. After a big climb around 8 miles, my right thigh was very fatigued and hurt but was not injured. It was probably from all the overcompensating for my right shin earlier. I jogged-in. The shin felt good throughout the run. When in better shape, I've done this course in under 70 minutes.

From Windsor Green, Ridge Rd. to Greenbelt Lake, around the lake, and back to Windsor Green. Slow start. Hip hurt a little and I was carefull throughout about footing for my shin injury.

At UMD in the rain. Shin too sore for intervals. It hurt starting out but gradually got better as I warmed-up. 24 laps in the 5th lane. Hip hurt a little.

Greenbelt to New Carrolton. Steady coldish headwind. Legs were tired too. 45 seconds for TL's.

New Carrollton to Greenbelt. Tailwind mostly and warm - yeah! 35 seconds for LT's.

From Windsor Green, Good Luck Rd. to Beaver Dam Rd. to Edmonston Rd. to Crescent Rd. to Windsor Green. Having not ridden my road bike outdoors for many months, it felt strangely fragile as well as light. It was showing it's age too not shifting smoothly and the crank feeling bent. It was much cooler and windy. I had both head and tailwinds. Estimate about 3 minutes for TL's but had timer on auto start/stop. It let me workout harder than I would have running because of my shin pull and slight soreness in the right knee from overcompensation. Avg. time was slow but okay for this time of year and weather. This was kind of a low 4 or high 3 intensity.

West Point A-Meet Day 2 at Bull Pond. Ran taped-up. Fewer rocks and a little less climb (275m). Fewer mistakes. Tried to be careful with my footing. See the Split List.
