I’m feeling pretty good about my training so far. I logged in eight miles the other day. I wanted to go further, but there was a glitch in my training route. My goal was to run from my home to a lake about 4 miles up the road. Then, I figured I’d run a time or two around the lake and head back home. Well, I made it to the lake – no problem. The problem was that once I got to that lake, there were signs EVERYWHERE saying that the lake AND the jogging trail around the lake were private property. The signs made it clear that violators would be prosecuted. Well, who wants to go to jail over a running route. So, I headed home, without running around the lake….Thus, the eight miles.
This weekend is another long run for me. I may just stick to the sidewalks and roads; however, there are a few side trips that could make my run more interesting. I may try to run on an open space trail, as well. I’m thinking it will feel good to get off the pavement for a day. My goal is nine or ten miles on Saturday….
