Training Log Archive: iansmith

Rest day, both for running and horn practice. My concerto performance is in 7 days. I find that when I run outside, my throat gets agitated by the cold air, so I won't run that much this week. However, I've learned that Emily Kemp is running blue at Ran-It Granite, and I simply will not tolerate getting crushed by a Canadian, a girl, and a person like a third of my age ALL AT ONCE, so I will have to prepare aggressively for the meet. I will still probably lose, but hopefully not by much.

Event: The Attackpoint 1600m Time Trial Challenge
 

JFK - Gerry's Landing river loop, late at night. I passed some presumably intoxicated individuals in Harvard Square who bellowed at me "who runs at this hour?" with some colorful metaphors thrown in.

I have been negligent with my training of late; I plan to get back into a regular regimen before my first A-meet (Ran-it Granite or West Point). I have felt an increasing desire or restlessness to run; sometimes if I'm traveling somewhere, I'll break into a moderate jog for a few hundred meters. It felt especially good to stretch today.

Stretching and cool down.
