Monday: 7
Woody loop with Matthew early morning. Went on RINEMBA trail Pour Judgment (my favorite of theirs thus far) for the 2nd time, and Hazy Day for the first time. I always enjoy running in the Woody.
Tuesday: 5
As I was meeting Tommy and Stonington Rec Director Rich for a 7:30am meeting in the Mystic area, I had planned a 7 to 8 miler on roads from the Mystic Y. All I had to do was get there for 6am, but I was dragging and tardy. Cut it down to a 5-miler, and at that the time was tight and made it into a progression run: 7:44, 7:14, 7:00, 6:41, 6:14
Wednesday: 7
Yawgoog trail mix. Wow, this one was fun.
Thursday: 11
Noon: 6-miler in Riverwood. Actually saw a guy in there walking his dog. He crossed the tracks in the southern end to enter. I crossed tracks when I was a youth, but can't imagine doing it with faster and quieter electric trains today. Of course the northern end access is no picnic either, and is primarily the reason that I seldom visit here. The property owners abutting the access clearly do not want people here with the several "No Trespassing" signs, despite them being over a Land Trust right-of-way. What a shame; otherwise, such a nice preserve.
Ran the outer perimeter loop trails first, then went on the interior more technical trails.
PM: 5-miles in Grills. Entered from Hopkinton side, crossed over Polly Coon bridge onto Westerly side, where unfortunately it's really a mess with the logging activity and overgrown. Pushed the pace from Polly Coon back to the Hopkinton bridge, and in the process, took a CR from Chris Garvin (he must have been jogging it).
Friday: 6
North End run at lunch. Wasn't feeling it. Slow 7:30 pace. In the North End, I got a "Run, Forrest, Run" yell. Funny. Not.
Saturday: 11
AM: 6 miles at East Greenwich High School spectating at Matthew's 1st cross country meet of the year.
PM: 5 miles early afternoon on Town Beach. Barefoot beach run and ocean dip.
Sunday: 8
Tom and I had signed up for the Rhode Warrior Tri, but like many others, based on the forecast downpours and rough surf, decided not to do it. Three of us went for a group run in the rain in Woody Hill instead.
Weekly Mileage: 55
Weekly Synopsis: Mileage about where I would like it to be. What I'm missing is some quality long runs (16 miles or over). Need better planning.
Weekly Highlight: Solo Yawgoog trail run on Wednesday afternoon. Hit some technical trails I hadn't been on before, and really enjoyed the rock garden at Southwest Marker.

| You can sort of see the red trail marks on trees here. The trail just goes smack dab through the middle of this massive rock garden. |

| Don't think I had ever been to "Southwest Marker" before. |
