Run

Library: It was about 84 this morning, my stomach was messed up, and I didn't have anything. Was dead the whole time, even coming back down the hill. I like it warm, but the 80s is too much.

Track workout: started at 5:30, so that means I woke up at 5:00. Too early. Hot again, but I had a lot more energy than yesterday. The workout was a continuous run with 200 m at 5k pace then 200 m at marathon pace. We were supposed to go for 30 minutes. I made it about 26 before I called it good on the knee. Tried to keep the 5k pace around 6:15 and the marathon pace around 7:00, but really it was all just guessing. A few more miles than I was looking for, but the rest of the week I'll be taking it easy. 

Stucki Farms: hot again. Still fighting this cold that started last Thursday with the sore throat. Now it mostly just a little running nose, but I wake up feeling pretty trashed and I'm stuffy most of the run. Still feel like I'm running a thin line of falling back into injury on the IT band, but I think I've got a pretty good handle of knowing when to jump back to the safe side.

Fields loop. Muggy. Right inner hip a little sore, maybe from backpacking yesterday with James. Avg pace was 8:01. Sometimes I felt great, sometimes like I'm on the verge of injury again with the IT band. Rolled on foam roller afterwards.

Drove down past Stucki Farms and Warner Valley Road and parked. Ran along the new beltway alignment which is currently a dirt road. Nice straight, level path to the airport exit, then turned east and followed the road to a sod farm down by Ft. Pierce Wash, but it had a fence. Looked into going south around it, but the road turned to the southwest, so I backtracked up a bit, then turned east then northeast cross country until I came to the old dirt road along the east side of that valley. Followed it north back to my car.

Interesting to see all the earth moving going on out there. Lots of land for future development. Will be nice when the freeway is finished for quick access to the airport, but I predict it will be a long time until the area is really built out, especially because it will mostly be business park stuff out there by the airport.
