Fall running weather: I love it!
Monday: 0
Tuesday: 11
5-mile local road morning run. Crisp and cool.
6-mile late afternoon trail run. Wahaneeta and Woody.
Wednesday: 6
Late afternoon run with Tom on the Pumpkins course, plus a little more.
Thursday: 5
Needham road run before work.
Friday: 3
Late afternoon, marking the pine forest section of Pumpkins. Got really nervous when I used up the majority of flags on just a 2/3 mile section; fortunately Home Depot had 100 more orange flags. Nervous about the success of the race and because of that, slept poorly most of the night before the race.
Saturday: 10
Run for the Pumpkins Trail 5K! The day has arrived! Great success! Separate post forthcoming shortly.
Sunday: 6
Matthew asked if we could run in Carter Preserve, as he had never been there before and presumably saw it recently in Strava and/or blog posts. Of course! Opted to start from the Old Mill Road entrance, first hit up the powerlines, then the Grassland Mile CCW, and finally a nice single-track loop from yellow out almost to Route 112, then red to blue to yellow and back. I hadn't run in there in a while myself, and had forgotten how technical some of the trails are with undulating hills and turns. Really fun run.
Weekly mileage total: 41. Happy with that; pretty consistent lately. 5 trail runs, 2 road runs.
