Exercise Type: Run
Comments:
My very favorite course we run. I absolutely love Sacred Leaf Hunting Grounds. It combines my two favorite types of courses to run, quiet neighborhoods and idyllic tree-lined places. Also, I hadn't expected to feel good at all, but I felt great, and I tried to pace-push a little but didn't really stick with it. I basically ran with everyone I spend time running with, and really enjoyed the company. I also caught my first leaf. Sometime soon I should like to run a little bit into the Leaf Hunting Grounds proper, as I've never been. Maybe next time we have a day off from practice, I'll do a steady+ run of 45-50-ish minutes and get down there. This run was as close to perfect as you can get, with the only thing wrong being the heat. However, we should have lovely running weather this weekend, with this Saturday being a high of only 57. Additionally, I neg split this one, as I usually do on this route.
