re: notarobot

I'm about to go into "down week" mode. Last 7 days I've run 84.5 miles BUT all I'm doing today is a 30 min lunch run. I'm supposed to start my colonoscopy prep at 4 pm so I doubt I will be capable of doing a run after work. I will definitely not be running in the morning before the procedure and likely nothing later in the day either but we'll see. Getting up super early Saturday to start an early tailgate at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie (Ball St at Wyoming) and won't have time for a run to travel back on Sunday. Maybe all this extra "running rest" will do a body good and get back to it on Monday!

dr crusher - all that elevation (& elv change) must good for the legs and lungs. Delaware has some decent running at least, I'd 100% rather run my old DE routes than where I have moved since.

I wasn't really knocking Delaware, I've been very happy the 15 years I've been there -- good job, good life, good running as you say (btw what were some of your favorite routes, if you don't mind sharing?) -- but I've just really fallen in love with the mountains and western slope over the years we've been vacationing out here.

The local newspaper's only mention of the race I did was to publish a photo of the area hiking club who walked it, lol. Haven't found any results anywhere else either. Oh well.

re: highhoppingworm

last week was a down-week volume wise (36) but i still got a quality 6x1000 at goal 5K pace workout in, as well as a 90 minute long run. the two weeks before that were both 50 and that's probably what i'll try to hit this week and then consider ramping up towards 60. i ran a good half marathon off of peaking in the low 60s in 2018 so i kinda wanna get back there. ideally this race would be in november.

ran a good 5K last night for the shape i'm in - 17:3X. the aforementioned 6x1000 workout was pretty much spot on as a predictor. granted, i'm not the ideal subject since i'm not anywhere near peak fitness.

Dr Crusher,

I can post some, thinking about the best way to show them. I might do screenshots of either strava or google maps (through imgur) then post here. Preference on greater Wilmington or greater Newark areas? I've ran down in lums/along the canal but those are pretty self explanatory. Whereas I've been more creative up around home/school

re: RunnerSam

RS, you don't have to be super specific, just general areas you'd run in the greater Newark area. I have a handful of places I generally run out of comfort and familiarity but would like to add to my library of local routes :-)
