Training: Long Run w/10 Mile Minimum 

I absolutely love exploring roads while doing my training runs. It’s one of the things that keeps me fully engaged and motivated during my runs and for my running journey in general. I treat the roads similar to how I do trails, I plan to be the first human in history to have hiked every single trail within Virginia with verified proof of it, so why not take up similar projects for running, so if you guys have seen me mention “Project Culpeper” that is the first goal I set. This goal is to run every single public road within Culpeper County. I’ve made quite the dent in this project already but still 100’s of not even 1000+ miles of rural backroads left to complete. Lots of work ahead but I wanted you guys to know how much I love doing my training this way so maybe one of you guys can set similar goals for yourself. 

Now as for this run, the route was a solid 7/10. There were a few scenic areas, half of this route was quiet backroads, which are my favorites, and some Mountain View’s. Only a couple of short sections that involved somewhat sketchy roads, meaning not much shoulder room between me and oncoming traffic, but at no point did I feel like I was doing anything dangerous. There was nonstop headwinds this entire route, no matter what direction I seemed to be running the wind was always blowing right into my face, which I took as a straight up challenge, sometimes cursing at the wind itself but nothing I couldn’t handle. In the last 3 miles I felt a very slight tweak in my inner right ankle but as of right now it feels good, training hard, going to have to recover even harder, the last thing I want is another setback. Happy I did this run today, ending the week of strong, going into this weekend even stronger. 💪🏼
