Some might think of high school cross country or track meets where they had to run all out and had not trained enough for their effort. Their experience was a memory of pain rather than a sense of accomplishment. Or maybe they just quit to soon. Or did not realize what running could do for them./
Maybe everyone does not need too run but everyone needs to get off of the sofa and do some type of exercise a few minutes a day. Try it you will be the better for the effort!
Well back to my running.
After my long layoff during the winter and recovering from my Hernia surgery i am still working on my training for the running and track events for the summer.
I ran the Tulip run at Mt Vernon, Wa on April 5. it was a 5 mile run on some trails and roads. there was some sprinkles when the race started but that stopped and it was just cloudy for the rest of the race. I ran the course in 1 hour and 5 minutes. not too bad for about 50% of being in shape.
This is one of the tulip fields in Mt. Vernon, Wa.
For the rest of the month of April I have been running from 2 to 5 miles a day.
My next race is The Bloomsday 12K (7,46 miles) run in Spokane, Wa. There will be about 55,000 runners at this race.The run is on the first Sunday of May. One can expect about any kind of weather on that weekend.
Today myself and 6 other people hiked 6.6 miles round trip in the Olympic National Park from Lake Ozette to the Pacific Ocean and back. It was a great trip.
on my next blog I will get caught up on my weekly mileage.
