1 PM
Trail running 1:03:47 [2] 5.8 mi (11:00 / mi) +80m 10:33 / mi
shoes: New Balance Minimus
Another outing to Littlejohn starting at Wiswall. The usual, but tried to loop more in a clockwise direction and explored the new logging trails on the east side. No hill sprinting today. Very hot (86 F) and humid; so I tried to keep a distance race pace going with short strides. I signed up for next Saturday's Bear Brook Trail Marathon, so tried to get a feeling of what pace I could maintain in the heat. It may not be relevant since the race starts at 6 am. More importantly is to train to minimize impact on legs, so as to avoid cramping later in the race. We'll see.....
2 PM
Swimming 15:00 [2] 0.25 mi (1:00:03 / mi)
Cool-down after the run. More like a chill-down, since the water felt cold after last night's multiple downpours. Pleasant a usual. Youngster playing in water and on and off the bridge.

Trail running 1:04:37 [3] 6.88 mi (9:24 / mi) +90m 9:02 / mi
shoes: New Balance MT 101 sz 9
Another evening run. Still hot. No major hills but lots of little blips: Spruce Wood to Shelter to Highland House, then on road (1/2 mile) to Stonehenge and back via bike trails, connecting to Troy's trails (I found a faint connector, yeah!). Then home via SpruceWood and an extra loop out to field and back over myhill. Kept a good pace going and pushed the hills. Lots of sweating. No deerflies yet, so I am enjoying another shirtless affair.

Late day outing around Spruce Hole. Opted for a couple of hill workouts, including twice over "myhill" (which is partly off-trail and steep).

Bike to work. Usual route.
5 PM
Trail running 52:10 [3] 5.5 mi (9:29 / mi) +60m 9:10 / mi
shoes: New Balance MT 101 sz 9
Running home from work. Cool,weather was threatening - thunder in the distance, hail warning, etc. That kept me going at a good pace. It started to rain, but by the time I got home it seemed all cleared away. So, a quick stop to dump my fanny pack, and back out for a couple of loops around Spruce Hole, including a hill tempo over myhill.

Road Running 19:00 [1] 2.0 mi (9:30 / mi)
shoes: New Balance MT 101 sz 9
Running from (9am) and to (5pm) the Village Garage, where I left the Honda for a diagnostic check. Ended up being a bushing rattling, with little consequence. Perhaps we'll get it fixed later, or junk the car alltogether (2004 Civic Hybrid - still runs fine otherwise, AC is kaputt).

shoes: New Balance MT 101 sz 9
Mid-day trail run around Littlejohn starting from Wiswall. Did several loops to amount to 4 big hills. Stayed on trails throughout except one cut-off to avoid the through the swamp section of an old trail. Pleasant: warm dry windy (75 - 80 F).
2 PM
Swimming 17:00 [1] 0.45 km (37:47 / km)
A cool-down swim at Wiswall. Refreshing!
