2014-05-07 - Run Smart
A couple nice days and it's like winter never happened ... OK, maybe this year we'll remember. That said, we need to be careful as we ramp up the miles. This is the time of year we forget that easy days and rest days are an important part of training, dang. I just tried sneaking in a long trail run for the second time this week. There is no "sneaking" in a long run. A couple of my body parts are giving me a stern warning. Remember, ice is a miracle drug, take the time to ice the spots that are barking at you. Did I ever mention I write this section of the midweek mail to myself?
For those of you who are new to trail running or want to give it a try, there is a nice little trail in the Washtenaw County Farm Park, right next to Running Fit Ann Arbor East, in Arbor Hills. Shop and run, you can't beat it! Perhaps dinner at the Zola Café, also in Arbor Hills, my new favorite.
Run smart and live it up,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner. Obsessed, not smart.
