The weekends over and here I sit in front of the computer trying to figure out what I want to say. The weather all weekend was cold but I got some good time outside. Saturday I wanted to try and get a longer run in to make sure my hip/knee issue is getting better so I threw on my new Merrell trail glove shoes and hit the pavement. I did a loop that takes me out Scotch Valley Rd. to Frankstown Rd. then to old 22 behind melniks store and back to Hollidaysburg. The run was my normal pace and felt good most of the time, toward the end I could feel my legs getting stiff but still no pain in the knee or hip! I can tell I still need to build my mileage slow and try not to over due it.
Sunday Brian and I decided to do a little mountain biking, we got to the Knob and got out of the car and wanted to get right back in. I think it was about 30 degrees and just felt colder than that, but wasn't too bad after we got going. We did our normal loop and I only flipped over the handlebars once! I could really tell that I haven't been mt. biking in a while but I still had a blast!! Brian ended up with a bent front chain ring but I think he had fun.
Today, I thought I would try and get some trail running in, so I went to Canoe Creek and did 5 miles on the trails and enjoyed just being in the woods. The leaves were really slippery so I tried to be careful not to do anything stupid and made it back safe and sound. I did a couple of the climbs and felt ok but the cold was definitely a factor for breathing. Once again the knee/hip was not an issue. Hopefully I be able to start building my miles mixing road running with trail running and get ready for Hyner!! If anyone wants to follow my workouts you can go to strava.com and follow me, I log all my runs and outside bike rides on Strava.
