October 22, Saturday

This morning marked week five of the fall cross country series. The race was held at Fox Hill Recreation area, a course I had never run before.  The racing conditions were ideal. It was 53*, with a lite sprinkle of rain, a beautiful grass covered course and I was fortified with my modified calf sleeves.  After three weeks of very light training because of sore calves, my legs felt quite lively as I warmed up today.

I am proud  say I started  strongly and ran competitively throughout the race.  My right half muscle ached throughout, but it didn’t have an impact on my ability to run. The result was my best time of the season;  27:44.  I am much more confident now that this puts me on track for a positive finish in the final 5K of the season at Holmdel Park next Saturday.

Steady Stats.
