I had been writing my blog entries almost every day faithfully, and then just posting at end of week. Falling behind again, and now I need to reconstruct from Strava. Kind of defeats the purpose and interest. Let's catch back up quickly ...
Very soft from yesterday's Ocean Run Half.
Tuesday: 6
Barn Island in the rain at lunch.
Wednesday: 7
Adams Farm, Dover, MA. Such a fun, twisty place here. After about 5 miles in, I realized I was totally disoriented and repeating some of the same trails, and whipped out the cell phone to orient myself and get back to the car.

| Very twisty trails to follow! |

| Evidently some mountain biking feature. |
Thursday: 6
Mostly road run from Westerly Town Forest, CCW on Potter Hill - Laurel into Ashaway, and back via Boombridge.
Friday: 3
Didn't get up when I planned. Short shakeout before heading to New York City to watch Matthew run a 15:35 in the 5K at New Balance National Indoors. His performance was 15th fastest in the nation this year. You can see his 2-minute post-race interview if you scroll down halfway on this page: Milesplit RI Nationals coverage

| The Armory, Manhattan. Pristine track, plus a jumbo-tron display for standings and replays. |
 |
| Cool banked track. I guess these are "hills" for track runners? |
Saturday: 9
Belleville Pond 10K. Such a blast! Write-up forthcoming shortly.
Sunday: 0
Lazy wimp. Ate and drank too much, slept in after daylight savings change, had no motivation to run. Shameful. Losing interest in long road runs; hopefully Tommy can keep me engaged between now and the marathon.
Weekly mileage: 32
Weekly synopsis: Lowest mileage week in 5 months. Also, lost a CR in Italy by one second, and this one was legit. No plans to ever go back to Rome, so that one is a goner. One left in Italy. If there was a bright side to my low mileage week, it was the whole reason I skipped the weekend long run in the first place: SNOW race in Ryan Park. Very cool; now back to business - marathon in 5 weeks.
Since when is eating and drinking too much one day out of 365 shameful???
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth. Tend to beat myself up when I fall off the wagon, but you do have a live bit too. Everything in moderation.
