Runner’s diary, Saturday

Ran yesterday — an easy three on the treadmill — but didn’t have time to post.

Today, however, I got up early and made my way to Thompson Park in Jamesburg where I participated in the first Buckelew 5K. Interesting route, some road running, lots of hills, some gravel, some trails and a steep declining hill (known as Devil’s Hill) that forces you to sprint to the finish. Managed a 27:41, which was decent considering I got off too fast and then was a bitter gingerly in my step on the rough terrain.

Hope they do it next year.
