Midtown to Jenks, out and back
Posted on 06. Apr, 2008 by Brad in Training
Yesterday’s weather was near ideal so I took advantage of it to get in some longer miles. With a 25K just over a week away, I wanted to get at least 10 miles in and I did just that. I made it 8 without any sort of stop but around there my energy started to suffer. I spaced in about 4 stretches of walking but still never completely stopped for recovery.
I didn’t carry my hand bottle with me but the water fountains along the Riverpark trail were mostly turned on. They are mostly spaced well, particularly down closer to Jenks, so I might rely on them until it gets really hot.
My lower back is still giving me problems. Just above my waist and to the right I get an isolated pain that comes and goes but is usually just barely there. It never really got unbearable so I didn’t worry about it. If it gets worse, I’ll have to look into it.
It was nice to see more people out on the trail walking, running, and riding bikes. I also saw about a dozen small planes, many of them old war style and even one bi-plane, coming in for landing at Riverside airport.
