Middle Road. Recovery run. I'm pretty sore from yesterday's race. Mostly my calves and my hips, but no injuries to report. I hobbled along for most of the run, finally loosening up after around 4 or 5 miles. 6.25 miles. 50:01. 7:59/mi. 140 BPM.

I met Loren at 5:15 this morning.  This will be my morning ritual for Tues and Thurs from now on.  Hopefully it'll boost both our efforts.  I'll start to incorporate some quality work for these sessions shortly.  8.06 miles.  Essex loop.  very easy.  1:07:46. 8:24/mi. 132 BPM.

Essex Loop plus a bit. I tried to get up super early again today to run but failed miserably. Instead, I went around 9:00AM after arriving at work. It was pleasant, close to 50 degrees, but I had to deal with the ever-present wind again. Nonetheless, it was a pretty good run. 11.18 miles. 1:22:12. 7:21/mi. 142 BPM. I meet Loren tomorrow morning again at 5:15AM, so I need to hit the hay early.

I met Loren again at Fort Ethan Allen at 5:00AM.  Today we did a bunch of loops around the fort trying to lay out a small loop we can use for tempo runs.  We'll start doing quality work on Tues and Thurs morning once the temps are a little warmer.  7.86 miles.1:03:42. 8:06/mi. 125 BPM.

Loren planned on running with me this morning but he was up all night with sick kids, so I was on my own.  It was probably a good thing because I felt like crud for the first 5 or 6 miles and didn't feel like company.  It was sunny and cool, but the wind was blowing again!  I guess I'll get tough running in it so much (even though I always complain about it.)  I ran most of my usual long run route, but deviated a bit to go to Indian Brook Reservoir.  It's less than 5 miles from my house, but I've never been there!  I think Anne and I will go there this evening for a walk.  Anyways, after I got into a groove I felt good until the final couple miles.  I expected it since I haven't done much overdistance lately.  First solid week of running in quite a while.  6 days, 53 miles.  today: 14.52 miles. 1:48:25. 7:28/mi. 147 BPM.
