More running

Hill work yesterday at the arboretum.
Went strong up the hills and relaxed for the rest.
A better overall time for running at the Arboretum.
At one point, with no one around, I heard a large cracking and snapping. As I looked to the side I saw a huge, old, dead tree take its final bow. It was a good thing no one was around, or at least good that no one was underneath it. This reminded me of the long run this past weekend. Running on the Potomac the trail was clear going out, but on the way back there was a tree stretched across the entire path. Good thing no one got hurt because getting hit by that could have killed someone.
Any who, during the middle of the run yesterday I had to make a quick pit stop to take care of some sort of stomach bug. Good thing there were bathrooms close by.
Finished last three barefoot on the track with the second to last mile at 7 min. pace. Thought it would be faster than that but wasn't.
The new track is oh so nice.
Finished the day off with alternating lunges down the football field, and back with side lunges.
100 each leg.

10.5 mi.
~1:23:00
~8:00 min. pace
