9 Aug – Medium Run – 5miles

I did the loops on this run. I’m writing this three days after the event so things aren’t that clear now. But I remember that the soundtrack was interesting. I was listening to Elizabeth Cotten play her finger-picking guitar. The alternating bass-line was especially helpful on round three, though it may have caused me to run a little too quickly meaning that I was a little winded on round four. I’ve realized that when I’m tired it’s easier to take smaller quicker steps to keep up the movement but not feel as if I’m straining on each stride. So I did this in round four, especially on the uphill portions.
