All in all a better week than the last two, but I was sluggish early in the week and waited until Friday (partly because of the weather) to do the long run, where I explored some new trails. After an easy hike Saturday, I felt pretty good Sunday running a little on technical trails, and boulder hopping.

9-Apr    run    0:40    40    6    ram park, brisk at times

Feeling sluggish, just trying to get the legs moving a little.

10-Apr    run    1:11    500    5    152    harriman
10-Apr    hike    0:35    300    2.5    harriman

Another run-hike, feeling a little fresher, but still not ready for long run.

11-Apr    run    0:29    40    3.5    ram park
12-Apr    hike    1:33    650    5    harriman
12-Apr    run    0:57    420    6    149    harriman

Feeling good again, but postponed long run again. Should have rested more.

13-Apr    hike    0:18        3    ram park
13-Apr    run    3:43    3000        137    ram park

Long run in Ramapo park from from the eastern escarpment over to the western side, overlooking the Wangue reservoir. I felt pretty good overall, especially running new trails. The red-marked Ringwood-Ramapo trail is comical the way it weaves endlessly back and forth, leaving you feeling turned around and like you're not getting anywhere, but it was fun, and largely downhill running south on the ridge. When I finally got back to familiar trails after about 3 hours of running, I stopped again at the view on the yellow trail.

14-Apr    hike    1:10    400    1    ram park

15-Apr    hike    1:04    600    2    harriman
15-Apr    run    0:37    0    2.5    harriman (15m bouldering)
