I finally hit the 100 mile mark today with a trail run at Watters Smith Memorial State Park in Lost Creek, West Virginia. The Lands End to John O’ Groats Virtual run started off well at the beginning of May. It fell to pieces at the end of the first week and I have been gradually trying to get back to full fitness for the rest of the month. I still have a little way to go with that.
The weather was absolutely perfect for running today. It was much cooler than it has been all week and the sun was shining. Watters Smith State Park is one of my favorite places to run but many of the trails were overgrown and navigating some of the vegetation was uncomfortable at times.
I hope to average about 38-40 miles per week in June and move myself up the leaderboard a little. Although the place I finish doesn’t really matter, it adds incentive to keep running and walking when you see yourself moving up the virtual league table.
