6 Mile Run Around Neighborhood

I'm big on running to get to know a neighborhood. The first thing I do when I travel is pull on the running shoes and get out for a run. I've blogged about this before. So it's rather embarrassing to admit that three months after moving this is my first neighborhood run.

And good things happen when you explore your world through running. Just after starting I saw lots of people running on Nickajack. I think to myself that some of them are probably from the group that Joey Sebestyen runs with. Not five minutes later I hear "Joe... Joe" and I turn around to see Joey. Small world. Joey's at mile 19 going up a long steady hill. But his stride is solid and he's moving well. We chat for a few moments before I dive into a subdivision to get some hills.

My legs today: not fresh. At all. After the ride yesterday and the hotel room plyos every muscle was sore and crying out. I had no flow... no fluidity... no elagance. I was just hurting. But that's ok... not every workout needs to be special or great. I just wanted to get a few hilly miles in before heading back up to north georgia with the fam.
