Thursday was my first attemp at trail running. Not one to do things simply i decided to do my first ever run on the greenbelt in the dark. Oh, and with some of the fastest runners and triathletes Austin has to offer. I ran 7milres before the effort easy on the trail then headed out for 1 1/2 hrs on the greenbelt. It was fast, it was difficult, but it was fun. I woke up the next morning feeling like i has just run an Ironman, ouch!
Friday was a lot lot better. I would actually say its was my most enjoyable workout of the year. I got to ride a steady 50miles on the dam loop. The legs felt great and it was just what i needed after the trail. Hopefully i will get to repeat that kind of a day in the future.
Saturday i ventured out on the ATC ride. A lot of the big hitting roadies were away so it made it easier for me to sit in and have a steady ride. Its been nice to suffer my way back into a little bit of fitness. By the end of the ride my legs felt like there was nothing left. The trail was starting to catch up with me.
Sunday was a long run. I felt all run like something was missing. i could not put my finger on it but I definately didn't enjoy it like i normally do. It was only 16miles but the last 2 miles were horrible.
Looking back it was an interesting 4 days of training. I feel like i actually achieved a little bit of overload this week over previous weeks. I am still lacking a ton of fitness but its nice to see that it hasn't gone forever and i can get it back. It will be nice to get some concistency in life soon and have the ability to achieve and enjoy what is so much a part of my life now.
