Bryson Park Run

 Went to a new place to run today, there is a new park that opened in Lilburn so I though I would give it a try. Big disappointment, the running trail was less than a 1/2 mile loop, there was an out and back trail that started off of the main loop, so with both sections the total was a little over a mile. Ran loops and out & backs until I got 6 miles. Not an exciting run. I did manage to get in about 4 X 1/4 intervals during the last half of my run.

On the Trail

Tuesday I was going to do a Galloway Race Rehearsal workout, but just didn't have the motivation to get it done. So, I decided that the best thing to do was first get out the door, then decide what to do. I headed to Stone Mountain, with my trail shoes already on so you know what I decided to do. I parked at the old Game Ranch parking lot and hit the trail. I started a r/w/r using a r:30/w:30. I had my Garmin Virtual Training Partner set for a 13:30 pace, so I just tried to stay ahead of that pace. As the run developed I got feeling better and as usual, when I really feel bad at the start I end up with a really enjoyable run. I got in 60 minutes, 30 out and 30 back.

ATC 5 Mile Race Today

Atlanta Track Club race this morning, felt good doing a r2:30/w:30 Galloway r/w/r. Completed race and found out that I finished 2nd in my age group (48:18), unexpected plus to the race. This is my 1st race since I started my new 10K training plan, so it seems to be helping.
