Sun 6/22 - AM 1:40 plus 20 minutes in Walden

Lincoln woods. At the risk of digging myself into a deeper hole I wanted to get in some kind of longer run, i.e. longer than the 75 minutes or so that even longer runs have defaulted to over the past few weeks. Thinking ahead to longer races on the horizon. Of course, the right leg had something to say about this especially after yesterday's misadventure. In fact it got progressively tighter and more wound up over the first half of the run. At this point I had a very worthwhile break along the side of the trail to stretch out the calf and hamstring. The leg felt better the rest of the way, although soreness in the calf is more than I was expecting. Dip in the pond came at the 70 minute mark, the final half hour after that was marked by increasing heaviness in the legs from fatigue but still able to rally somewhat over the last 10 minutes. More excellent weather. After lunch went for a meandering bike ride around the aqueducts of Wayland, scouting out training locations for the fall.
