Hit my favorite place to run when I stay in Ames, nice little flat trail at the park. Weather was amazing, first time I've run outside in just shorts and a t-shirt in a long time. Still having my issues with running at night, tried eating a little more later in the afternoon today but still got that exausted fatigued feeling half way through the run, wanted to shoot for 5 miles but called it after the second loop because I was getting dizzy. Maybe I just run better on a fasted state first thing in the morning, oh well at least my knee wasn't hurting before or after. I was concerned with running on the uneven terrain that it might flare up, but no issues to speak off.
First Live Uncommon RevoLUtion Race is this Saturday and I'm still looking for donations, big thank you for those who have already stepped up and made a donation, I really appreciate it. If you would like to make a donation to the cause you can access my page here.
Thank you for reading...
Until next time...Do today what others won't, so tomorrow you can do what others can't.

Triathlon Training: Week 6 - Tuesday Run
Today's workout - 6 mile trail run
Found an awesome network of trails around the resort that we are staying at for my conference this week. I got a little lost navigating them in the dark this morning, but I managed to find my way back, really looking forward to running them again either tomorrow or Thursday or both. My knee held up just fine today, largely in part to running on soft ground, dirt trails and crushed gravel as opposed to pounding pavement so I might be able to put extra miles in this week.
I absolutely love running trails. I don't even care that I move so much slower than running roads. Trail running is so much different of an experience than running the streets around my neighborhood. It's difficult to explain how and why the difference without sounding like a tree hugging hippie but it is something about connecting with nature and disconnecting with the world that makes more of an introverted experience. It's usually quieter and calmer which allows you to get more in tune with your body as you run but you can't zone out running trails like road running otherwise you'll face plant tripping over a rock or root and get really in touch with how your body is feeling...pain...haha!
Now its off to breakfast, then 9 hours of meetings and vendor presentations...ya!
Until next time...Do today what others won't, so tomorrow you can do what others can't.
