Wildwood

July 3, 2015 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Not a lot going on at Conte, deserted in the afternoon but I was still working on some stuff. Came home at a decent time and went out on a nice solo run. First true shirtless day. It was nice but not too hot out, but good for no shirt. Started out looping around Amherst College and then going up to the Z by AR. The pool is open and a bunch of kids were there, it looked like a lot of fun. Ran up to Wildwood, did a loop and then came back over towards campus. I was kinda feeling tired on the Wildwood loop, trying to get up the hills strong. My plan was to just come back through town, but I cross Ryan's path (which was pretty cosmic) and we chatted for a little. I turned around with him, but he was goin real slow since he hasnt run in a week, so I just popped over Orchard Hill then came back to town and down Prospect. Felt good on the way back. Into a good rhythm and strong. Slowed down a little once I passed the Rail Trail though. Didnt realize how far I had gone, compared to recent mileage and my legs felt it at that point. Real solid run though to wrap up a productive week. Just love running around town in the summer, really brings out how legit Amherst is. I was also thinking how much the winter sucked, I am glad we get weather like this for some of the year at least.

Essentials: Stretch

Nice stretch outside, so sweaty just sitting there. Long week finally hit the wall, gotta celebrate the 4th this weekend though. Good timing to relax and recharge. Thats what "freedom" is all about.
