Monday: 0
Two days after Sleepy Hollow Mountain Race, but legs are really sore. More so than yesterday.
Tuesday: 6
Barn Island at lunch. Twisty meandering loop almost entirely on single-track. Was surprised to see anyone out there on the single-track trails; two mountain bikers had stopped right before a mudpit that's there almost year 'round on the perimeter trail. It looked like they were trying to figure how to get across it, so as long as they're stopped, I just went right through it, seemingly to their surprise. Fun run. Felt decent.
Wednesday: 6
Late afternoon run at Ninigret. 68 degrees and sunny. Got to get more of my singlets down out of the attic. It felt quite warm. Will need to acclimate to this and warmer temps. Quite a few people out walking the wildlife refuge trails today.
Thursday: 4
Wahaneeta at lunch. Just barely squeezed in a swampy run, before rushing home to shower and getting back to work two minutes before I had to present at a meeting.
Friday: 4
Late afternoon run on the Clamdigger course. Atlantic Ave partially flooded in the usual spot. Unabated, Atlantic Avenue is projected to be underwater by the year 2100. Not that I'll be around in 2100 and not that climate change is real anyway. :)
Spent most of the day getting ready for Clamdigger race tomorrow.
Saturday: 7
Clamdigger. Separate race report shortly.
Sunday: 7
Met up with Tommy 5K for a run for the first time in months. Was good to catch up with him. Ran at Ninigret, accompanied by his dog Riley. The latter starts out super hyper, but settled down mid run or so. Look out when there is a rabbit or squirrel around!
Weekly Mileage: 36
Weekly Synopsis: Clear a down week for mileage. It's easy to blame being busy at work or whatever issue du-jour, but absent injuries (which I don't have at present, fortunately), I own that and need to plan to get out there better when I do have the time (early morning) instead of hoping for a window to open up later in the day. I better not be writing the same thing a week from now!
Weekly highlight: Our club's Clamdigger race (minus the wind!), followed closely by an overdue run and catch-up with Tommy 5K.
Weekly lowlight: Crammed for time and not getting the mileage in.

| Continuing our "Swedish Death Cleaning". Unbelievable how many water bottles we had accumulated as a family. In triple digits. No, we don't go out and buy these, at least not directly. But after hundreds of races, youth soccer league games, etc., more than a decade's worth of getting water bottles was totally out of control. Fortunately, these are recyclable. Dumped out bags of these onto the living room floor, and then kept only about 20 of them based on quality and event remembrances (e.g., Hartford Marathon finisher bottles). |

| Mud! |

| Refreshing and cleaning off the mud at the same time, in a clear stream at Wahaneeta. |

| Vats of clear chowder lying frozen and thawing on our counters for tomorrow's Clamdigger. Hopefully they thaw out overnight. |

Happy to get my name on your weekly highlight clip! Hoping for many more future runs with you.
