#wodtrail

My legs were complete 🗑 today. But I stuck it out and did a super slow 4 mile #shakeoutjog at #bluemontpark after my @breakoutrunning coaching session with @steven_dong4. Planning on #nycvirtual Leg 2 tomorrow, a 25-mile bike ride. I’m thinking of driving out west so I can hit the flat and relatively uncrowded parts of the #wodtrail in Loudoun County. Today in Arlington the same trail felt like the Jersey Turnpike. #runblr #fitblr #recoveryrun #summerrunning #summertraining (at Bluemont Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCo6YBqH8m5/?igshid=110jnt9vuc5rs

No such thing as bad weather if you opt to be a strong and smart runner. It was actually not that bad out tonight. It helped that that the #wodtrail between Vienna and Hunter Mill is almost entirely shaded in the evenings. Plus I kept the effort easy and stayed smooth the whole way. Got back and the #thirdfridayvienna street fest was in full swing. Heard a band called #mudlark do a killer cover of #comfortablynumb which was pretty fitting. A little tired but not labored at all. Chalk it up as a nice evening #easyrun. I even got a nice sunset. #runblr #fitblr #summerrunning #5ktraining #masterstrackathlete (at Vienna, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0HlB9NHL0p/?igshid=1wrrgvt4hjtqp

Mid-ride stop at @starbucks seemed like a good idea until I looked up at the sky. Let’s just say the ride back home was a little more vigorous. I had hoped to stop and check out the new @thebikelane shop on the #wodtrail but that will have to wait. I beat the downpour home by about 2 minutes. #bikelife #bikeblr #runblr #fitblr #recoveryweek #roadcycling #frappuccino #springstorms (at Fairfax County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-TJ6Ahlyp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uws1c2hqjhld

After the winter storm yesterday and warming back up today, the track was a snowy/aslushy mess. So I made do for my #400meterrepeats workout by going to the flattest straightest part of the #wodtrail to do them. I did 12 x 400, then 3 x 200. Happy to see I was pretty consistent on the 400s. Now I need to dial it back for a couple of days to get ready for the #rrcaclubchallenge 10 Miler on Sunday. I’ll be racing for @dcroadrunners, and hopefully we can post a good masters result. #runblr #fitblr #winterrunning #intervals #springracingseason #cherryblossomtenmiler #masterstrackathlete #northfacedctrailhalf #dcroadrunners (at Dunn Loring, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuKOHxnhlO8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=141nmyc6gq83p

A very modest start to my new summer #5k training program. I was feeling pretty creaky after a wedding, a lot of miles sitting in a car, and no running this weekend until now. But I got an easy 5 miles in and I’ll take it for the day. #runblr #fitblr #summerrunning #summerracingseason #wodtrail #easyrun #recoveryrun (at Vienna, Virginia)

Nice evening run at @caboosebrewing in Vienna. I ran most of the way with @drjiveturkey and @rmgmarin in cool, turning cold, but still bearable temperatures. Running along the same path as yesterday’s grueling workout, I felt much better tonight. Hopefully that means I am ready to crush some #yasso800s tomorrow. #runblr #fitblr #marathontraining #wodtrail #njmarathon2018 #cherryblossomtenmiler #gwparkwayclassic10miler #mcmillanrunning #mcmillanrunteam
