Amherst Trails

Time: 52:25
Distance: 7.5

I was finally feeling decent and ready to sweat it out. It has been annoying to be in Amherst the last few days and not get in a good run, so I went right to some of the trails around the Bike Path and Amherst College. I even jumped in the river near Stanley Street.

I was feeling very positive and my lungs weren't too congested, which was nice. My left hip flexor was again worse than I would've liked it, but I did stretch it out well after the run. I'm assuming everything is no faster than 7:00 right now. I timed the first mile in months for the last bit of this run and (admittedly picking up the pace a little bit) ran just under 6:30.

Groff Park Loop

Time: 56:45
Distance: 8.5 mi.

Evening easy run. Having new shoes is huge, but it will take me a couple of days for my legs to start feeling good again. My left plantar is a bit tight... probably a combination of standing at Wilco on Tuesday night for a few hours and the workout yesterday.
