Greenbelt Fun

Ran on the Greenbelt Trail today, Winnick Woods in Cape Elizabeth. The run felt good but I wanted to run closer to an hour and decided to listen to my body which was asking for reprieve.

I hit the inner loop 5 times with reverse direction every two laps. I love cruising these trails as they offer similar conditions to Bradbury with a distinctive "hilly" feel. You're either heading up a gradual incline counter clockwise, or undulating up slightly steeper grades clockwise. The first 4 laps were relatively quick keeping the heart and lungs racing, and the last was a pooch-fest. Time to call it a day after a lovely, muddy, slickery jaunt through the forest.

efficiency: Today was about muscle memory on technical terrain, and keeping the lungs stretched.

distance: 4.8ish
