It looks like a low mileage week this week with constant work issues around the clock following a major trading system migration. Anyhow, that might be OK as I'm probably supposed to taper a bit for a half-marathon. Does anyone really taper for a half, or only for a full?
Monday: 0
Tuesday: 3
3 miles seems paltry and easy, until you see the terrain and effort. After a while, I got into a rhythm (albeit about a 9:30 pace), but had to stop a few times to catch my breath. Exhausting.
Wednesday: 8
Morning: Easy run roads out to Watch Hill, with a pensive run back home along the beach. I probably take for granted being able to easily run from my home to the ocean. I won't be moving anytime soon to interior NC or elsewhere inland for that matter.
Evening: Bailed out on a planned workout with FiveK for more work fun. :(
Thursday: 0
Another zero :(. Crazy work day consumed my time, energy, and motivation.
Friday: 15
Morning: 8 mile pond loop. 23 degrees. Since I didn't make our Workout Wednesday session this week, I at least threw down 4 x 800, with a 400 recovery on each. Three on the road: 2:44, 2:45, 2:47, and the final one ended up being completely on the sand while dodging waves, for a 3:06.
Afternoon: 7 miles with FiveK.
Saturday: 6
Beach and road run with Mike B, FiveK, and Lulu. Warm!
Sunday: 18
Ocean's Run Half Marathon. Write up shortly.
Weekly mileage totals:
Run: 50
Monday: 0
Tuesday: 3

| Blue-blazed Pequot Trail was really tough going uphill in deep crusty snow (started at ball field in Poquetanuck) |

| What in the blazes (pun intended) is this? Turns out it contains a log book, and no one had left an entry in over a month; can't imagine why with the conditions. |
