Another day on the track, easing back into some speed again with my calf slowly recovering from earlier in the week. I like the track infinitely more than the road so now that it's nicer out I'm trying to get there instead on non-trail days. I think the lighter impact serves me better and a 2-3 mile workout on the track will get me stronger than a 2-3 mile slog around Hoboken, hopping up curbs and dodging cars.
The Weehawkin track is located in a absolutely beautiful spot with panoramic views of the NYC skyline. The only problem is that the people have no idea how a track should operate. People are walking in lane 1 all of the time, there are little kids running all over the place, not to mention people walking across to the soccer field directly in front of runners. They really need some "runners only in lane 1" or "no ball playing on the track" signs, they would go a long way. I actually had to hurdle an uncoordinated four year old who somersaulted into lane 1 after missing trying to kick a soccer ball to his dad.
Anyway, the workout was an easy one today. Half mile warmup, 25 squats, 1mi of ins-and-outs, 25 squats, 1mi of ins-and-outs, 25 squats, quarter mile cool-down. The squats were designed to imitate hills since I didn't have any to run on today.
