Varna Long Run

May 23, 2020 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Went at good time in the afternoon. It was kinda hot today but I did my best to hydrate before heading out. Since I didnt run yesterday, I wanted to get it going today, thought going out to Varna would be good. Started at the track and took the bike path to Game Farm and Stevenson and the Dirt Road. The path at the end of the dirt road is all cleared out and goes the full distance now along a beautiful solar farm. I do miss bushwhacking back there but it looks really nice. Kept going over to Freese Rd trails. Noticed that that wasnt as far as I thought, so I pivoted and added on up Horse Hill. Once I came back to campus through the golf course, also felt like that wasnt far enough, so I added on down to the footbridge over Fall creek near the frats. The hike up the stairs sucked and I kinda lost my good groove there. Had to push myself through the Arts quad and back up Tower Rd. When I returned, I was just short of an hour so I pushed it to tip the clock. Hard going there at the finish but I felt great today, better than any other day this week. Also glad I got through a solid route through a bunch of different areas.

Essentials: Stretch

First I downed my water bottle then shook it out and stretched a little bit. Took me a while to cool down. Legs feel complete after not too sore or tight. Some blistering on my feel though. Temperature ended up being just perfect for a controlled long run.
