PM: 4 miles easy
Valerie drove to Umstead State Park where I got in a solid 12 with Liam. I'd never been there, but this is easily the best place I've run in NC so far. We stayed on the main dirt road with long, rolling hills, but the park had countless side trails just waiting to be explored. I'll be back. At the final climb of the day, I started feeling fatigue in my quads but held together just fine.
In the late afternoon, I went for a short 30-minute shake-out to explore a small trail near my apartment
Strong week this week and my highest mileage so far of 2009. Given that I was considerably busier than I thought with orientation, I'm pleased. There was a fair amount of easy/moderate running on account of the heat, but I'm feeling good and think I'm ready to run well at Annapolis next week. I'm going to stick with the 2 up, 1 down mileage cycle, which seems to keep me from getting too flat during higher mileage periods, so next week will be a recovery week of 90-ish miles.
