This is Rhody week. Going to take it real easy during the week and hopefully be rested up and in good shape for the annual pre-Thanksgiving trail race. Having seen four doctors in as many weeks, and enduring some painful runs and maladies, I'm going to try to take the latest specialist's advice of some R&R, with hopes that taking it easy combined with medication will set me right. Or at least back to my usual self. Minor in the scheme of things compared to people with real problems, but annoying that running has been painful lately.
Monday: 0
Planned day off.
Tuesday: 2
Super easy jog at Bradford Preserve, trying to plot out a run for the reconnaissance of the club's Jingle Bell Run.
Wednesday: 3
Another very easy jog, from Bradford Citizens Club, with another possible route for Jingle Bell. All trails, in the dark.
Thursday: 11
AM: 8 miles. Li'l Rhody preview in light rain. 15 minute warm-up, 10 x (1-minute on, 1 off). I am consciously trying to run easy this week, but thought one moderately hard effort should be done. Felt very sluggish.
PM: 3 miles. Ran a third option for Jingle Bell. Not enamored with this one. Incorporates the requested fire roads, but those are in rough shape in this section.
Friday: 0
Saturday: 5
Solo easy run on Kimball and Ninigret trails. So seldom run on these trails. A few blow-downs need to be cleaned up.
Sunday: 9
Li'l Rhody Runaround. Separate race report forthcoming.
Weekly mileage: 30
Weekly synopsis: Not a good week. Between groin area ailments and taking it easy for Rhody, this was a planned lower week. Hope to put this past me, and start ramping up into deciding on some type of spring marathon or long race.
