Tuesday: 6
Back to Rhody after being away five days. Ran Vinny, Sammy, and Lenny trails at Burlingame. Pushed Sammy C's hard and took 2nd position on the segment, 20 seconds behind Jonny. (Editor's note: that was before Jonny came back to crush his CR further and Muddy jumped in to take 2nd.)
Wednesday: 6
Hale Reservation, Westwood, MA. Got myself temporarily lost. Slow and easy ahead of Sunday's epic race.
Thursday: 5
Barn Island mid-day run. Slow and easy.
Friday: 0
Planned day off tapering into Sunday.
Saturday: 5
Flat, easy run at Ninigret.

Weekly mileage: 63. Just edged out Jonny for first on the club mileage leaderboard.
Weekly synopsis: Thrilled to complete the 50K! Cross one off the bucket list.
Weekly highlight: See above! 2nd place to running for the first time ever in Wisconsin,

Wisconsin is where I ran my ultra! Always a favorite state to visit and one I enjoyed living in for a few years. Great week!
