1st and Probably only Trail Run at Treehaven

May 25, 2011 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Sundown

Comments:
Decided to give it a go tonight even tho my legs were dead the whole day. Decided the trails would be more forgiving on the knee's so I headed over to one of the ski trail-heads around 7:30 and headed out. Cool trails, lots of hills, thru some cool Northwood's terrain over a few trout streams. Felt the soreness in the front of the left knee so I decided to keep the run short (somewhere around 15). Hills were a KILLER towards the end, not sure if it's because my legs were burnt out from yesterday or because I'm not eating enough, but either way it wasn't good. Definitely am coming to my senses and have decided that there will be no run tomorrow, if anything maybe some elliptical action, but a rest day wouldn't hurt. Tired as hell legs and a not 100% knee could lead to really bad things. Looking at another run on Friday! Cya then!

P.S. - Gotta remember to drive the legs up with the quads on hills, less calves.

P.P.S - Reason for the title - Had about 8 Deer Ticks and 3 Wood Ticks crawling on me when I got done, one of the Wood Ticks was imbedded in my knee pretty good too.. so I think I'll stick to road running as much as possible up here now.
