Blog catch-up. Three weeks behind. Ugh. No one to blame but myself.
Monday: 8
Back to work Monday after 16 days off. Solo 'round the pond.
Tuesday: 11
AM: 7 miles. Descending ladder drill with Tom. Matthew ran his own, but hung with us. From Old Town Beach out to Ocean View Highway and back, with a refreshing jump in the ocean at end. Saw a young coyote at intersection of Ocean View and Browning.
PM: 4 miles. Stonington Fun Run.
Wednesday: 8
Turned 53 years young today. After run a 50K on my 50th birthday, 51K total but not contiguous on my 51st, and running up Mount Esja (Iceland) on my 52nd, I had nothing to top it with this year. Not complaining; just came back from an amazing natural trip in Alaska and had two weeks off from work. Will plan future birthday adventures, but none this time around.
AM: 5 miles. Adams Farm, Walpole, MA. Deerfly assault.
PM: 3 miles. Westerly Fun Run. Good to be back to these. I missed them.
Thursday: 6
Bradford Preserve and Woody.
Friday: 12
AM: 5 mile Burlingame dirt road / trail run with Tommy, followed by a 1,000 yard swim in Watchaug Pond.
PM: 7 miles at Groton Fun Run, including warm-up and cool-down.
Saturday: 13
Warm, humid run with Tom, Matthew, Mikey, and his friend Eric. Goal was to run 5 miles in the middle at target Blessing pace. I was shooting for about a 6-flat pace, but disappointingly ran progressively slower. Impromptu stop at Cooked Goose on the way back, where they were kind of to provide 5 sweaty runners with glasses of ice water.
Sunday: 6
After a nice 30-mile group ride in the morning, still had enough energy for a solo barefoot beach run mid-afternoon at low tide. Nice way to finish out the week.
Weekly mileage: 65
Weekly synopsis: Other than my laziness with blog writing and disappointing pace on the Saturday workout, always happy when I can get in a 60+ mile week.

| Defending myself against deerflies by wearing a shirt (I so prefer singlets in the summer heat) and my Nipmuck Trail Marathon buff. Mikey said I look like a thug, Crutch said mafia, and Tommy said ghetto. Whatever works! |
