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.

I’m sore, but happy after a 10-mile jaunt (that became a trudge toward the end) that took an hour and 41 minutes, 58 seconds. I even had just enough in the tank to lengthen my stride, though not for very long. All in all, not bad.

Four miles in — well, I have no idea. I was out there on Perrine Road, set to turn off into one of the developments when I realized that the GPS unit I use to measure pace, distance and time had konked. I noticed yesterday that the batteries were low, but I thought it would be fine. Oh well. I stayed to a regular route to ensure I did my four.

A bit behind on the running this week — I took an extra day for Labor Day — but did get out and do a slow, painful five.

Ugh.

Must keep it going.

Still sore nearly 12 hours after my run. Did 9.3 miles — well, actually, it was seven, with a mix of walking and running the rest of the way. I didn’t really eat dinner and I never eat breakfast before the run, so I think it caught up to me. No fuel.

Ran with Mike, so no music, but a new route — down Ridge to Stouts, up Route 522 to New and back to Ridge, then down Perrine, into the Princeton Collection, onto Schalks Crossing and into Dow Jones.

Solid.
