| Recently watched a clip of the Cheese Rolling Contest (above), held near Gloucester, England, where participants race down a 200-yard long hill chasing a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese. Would be fun to watch, but bonkers to participate in! |
Monday: 0
Complete day off. Very sore and beat up from the weekend.
Tuesday: 7 run, 2 walk
Westerly, RI
AM: Short early morning run with Brady on local roads.
AM: Morning break during an 8-hour WLT Strategic Planning session. Had many of these during my working career; while this was productive, I don't miss them. Took a walk around Barlow Preserve.
PM: Afternoon break - repeat of above.
PM: 5-mile run at Grills at 4pm conclusion of Strategic Planning meeting. No one out there. Enjoyed the solitude.
Wednesday: 7
AM: Hopkinton, RI. Short early morning run with Brady at Canonchet. Intended longer, but after 10 DFKs, bailed at two miles.
PM: Westerly, RI. Fun Run week #5. Took it really easy with a big race coming up on Saturday. 20:47.
Thursday: 5
Groton, CT. Bluff Point run with Brady. Warm. Mix of carriage roads and single-track.
Friday: 4
Hartford, VT. Road run in the White River Junction village with Matthew and Brady, as we stopped here overnight to break up the trip to Quebec. Roads kind of busy in the first half; second half was better.
Saturday: 32!
Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges, Quebec, Canada
Quebec Mega Trail 50K. Race report to follow separately.
Sunday: 4
Beaupré, Quebec, Canada
Easy recovery run. With Matthew and Brady. To/from our hotel at Mt Sainte-Anne. Unfortunately, the deerflies are bad up here too. 4 DFKs.
Weekly mileage: 58 run, 1 walk
Weekly synopsis: After weeks of building up, we finally hit the crescendo, Quebec Mega Trail. One week of recovery, and then refocus on what's next, including popular local road races in late July and August, and tri buildup.
Weekly highlight: QMT 50. Very difficult for me, but rewarding to complete this.
Weekly lowlight: Deerflies at Canonchet. Unbearable.
