Weekly Log 2-Oct to 8-Oct-2017

Monday:  6
Road run.  Local hospital loop.

Tuesday:  8
Bradford Preserve.  Flagging and course setup for Matthew's final home WHS XC meet ever.  :)
So proud to see Matthew wrap it up with 1) the overall individual win, 2) course record, 3) establishing himself as 2017 Southern Division champ, 4) leading the team to a win, and 5) first time WHS boys qualified as a team for states since 2008.

Wednesday:  4
Morning run at Woody.  Lazily got up too late and had to cut my run short to make it back in time for a work meeting.  No one to blame but myself.

Thursday:  8
Ran Rhody course at 6am, starting and ending on Buckeye Brook Road.  Abdominal pain the entire way.  Every root I hit or rock I jumped off felt jarring.  Really uncomfortable.

Spent two hours in the evening putting on final touches on the Pumpkins Connector Trail, including some minor snipping with loppers and smoothing/rounding out a few sections where turns were just too tight to run at a fast pace.

Friday:  4
Ran and lined the Pumpkins course with ghosts and graves.  Pumpkins race in the morning!

Saturday:  13
Run for the Pumpkins!  Write-up to follow shortly.

Sunday:  10
Back to Bradford Preserve and Woody Hill.  Narrowly missed the rain, but suffered through humidity.  Ran with Matthew.  Had originally planned to tack on more miles, but the tired and sore legs had other ideas.

Weekly mileage:  52

Weekly synopsis:  Not bad mileage, especially for cutting a couple of days short.  Consciously trying to mix in at least one day of roads each week, which I did.

Weekly highlight:  The Pumpkins trail race!  Nothing else even came close.  Awesome time; awesome race.
