Monday: 0 run, 500 yard swim
Easy and comfortable pool swim at lunch at Westerly Y. It's a little boring, like I find running in ovals, but it's good cross-training. Inadvertently left my Garmin watch at home, so I didn't bother with a manual post to Strava.
Tuesday: 8
Ran Li'l Rhody route in the dark, or at least the first half of the run was in the dark. After a series of days last week with missed running, I was proud of myself for getting out there for a morning run, but one morning does not a pattern make.
Wednesday: 7
Halloween mid-day run at the Barn. Mostly single-track on a beautiful, warm, sunny day. Saw three separate hunters with guns; make sure to wear your bright orange!
Thursday: 0
Fail.
Friday: 5
Pumpkins course in drizzly rain. Very warm 62 degrees. This is November, right?
Saturday: 8
Slept in, got a text from Tommy asking if I wanted to run within the hour. I always appreciate these, even if can't end up making them, as the prospect of getting out to run with someone else is easier and more likely than if I go solo.
Tommy suggested me a choice (again, I appreciate these) of Champlin, Burlingame, or Woody. Having run in all three, and having a preponderance for variety, I opted for Burlingame if we could weave in something different than what I had run recently. Tommy was all in. We ran the main 3.5 mile double-track loop in Bgame North, followed by North Camp trails, and finishing up with the white trail north of Buckeye Brook Road leading up to Stillwater Road and a little bit of VG. 2nd consecutive day of running in warm rain. Good stuff.
Sunday: 12!
Group trail run of 5 guys at Tillinghast and Wickaboxet. First time running with Jonny Hammett in more months than I can remember, and with Seth in over a year. Chris Garvin and Jonathan Short rounded out the merry group.
Weekly mileage: 40 run, 1/4 swim
Weekly synopsis: A lot of good runs, all on the trails this week. I would like to mix in at least one day of roads to balance it all out. I also resumed swimming indoors, and it wasn't actually as bad as I feared.
Weekly highlight: The Sunday group run to be sure. Great trails, great conversation, and catch up with a few runners I hadn't seen in a while. I'm racing the next two Sundays, but otherwise, hope this will be a pattern on many weekends.
Weekly lowlight: If I absolutely had to pick something, I guess my laziness on Thursday for not doing anything. But really, it was a good week!

Nice post. Halloween is the best! Our Saturday run had to be a close second in the area of highlights??? Haha
