Running Club - Sherwood Forest

I will keep this short. Last night's training run was only 4.5 miles long but it was a continuous hills from start to finish. After running a half marathon last Saturday, you would think a measley 4.5 miles would be pretty easy, definitely not the case. It was mostly hills and after the rain, it was quite humid. I really think there is something to being properly hydrated prior to runs like this. It was a lot tougher of a run than it should have been, but we struggled through it.

The class following the run was alright. We had a doctor talk about balance and triggers in your brain that was pretty interesting, although that is about as much as I remember so I obviously didn't take away much from it. There was also a group there from Savage that offers hydro training services. They had a machine that wraps around whatever joint is ailing you, pumps ice cold water through the wrap, and compresses the area as well. It is pretty cool and I want one for my house.

This weekend our run is another 13 miler around Nokomis, over to and around Harriet, and then back to Nokomis. I love running around the lakes and I love running in the mornings. I will be running a much more relaxed pace than last Saturday.
