| |
| Cycle around Long Is. and Winauakee. Modest effort except for hills that required work to keep from toppling over. |
Friday Jul 30 |
| Trail Run 2:10:45 [3]8.0 mi (16:20 / mi) | |
| |
| Mt. Tom, Field, Avalon loop. Relatively easy double for peakbaggers; but not a lot of good running. Too hot and tired to add the out-and-back to Mt. Willey. Took my only (real) fall in the White Mtns. 20 meters from the bottom! Split at Tom: 53:30, Field: 1:20:53. HR: 123/149. |
Thursday Jul 29 |
| Road Run 36:10 [3]5.0 mi (7:14 / mi) | |
| |
| R.O. Brown Rd. and back, pushing hard the second half. |
Wednesday Jul 28 |
| Note | |
| |
| Hike up Mt Israel, 4.2 miles, with the Wolf-McLean clan. Pleasant, but in a cloud at the top. Collected bright yellow chanterelles which made a nice appetizer before dinner. |
Tuesday Jul 27 |
| Trail Run 2:47:39 [3]11.0 mi (15:14 / mi) | |
| |
| Finally did the Tripyramids. Took Scauer Ridge and Pine Brook up (bypassing the North slide - yeah, I'm a wimp); very slow down the aptly named South "slide". Good effort, overall. Went early and just beat the rain: had the whole mountain to myself. AHR: 128. 25:08 (2.6 m.), 38:18 (3.8 m.), 1:20:09 (N. peak), 1:35:17 (middle peak), 1:43:34 (s. peak). |

| |
| End of Long Island, pushing hard on the way back. AHR 141. 27:05, 25:54. |
Sunday Jul 25 |
| Note | |
| |
| Family hike: Old Bridle to Mt. Lafeyette, then loop over Mt. Lincoln and down the Falling Waters trail. About 3500 feet of climb, 8.9 miles. Steep descent a bit too much for Margi: kids finished an hour ahead; I stayed back. |
Saturday Jul 24 |
| Trail Run 2:22:27 [3]11.6 mi (12:17 / mi) | |
| |
| Smarts Brook trail to Jennings Peak and back, about 2700 feet of climb. Mostly runnable (slowly!) to the top of the ridge, though plenty of obstacles and wet areas on the trail. One bottle not enough: dry before reaching the top. AHR 131, MHR 149. Splits: 1:10:09 (ridge, 5.1); 1:18:28 (Jennings, 5.8), 1:26:59 (ridge, 6.5) |
Thursday Jul 22 |
| cycling 3:47:00 [3] | |
| |
| With Peter, finishing off our two day biathlon. Around Winnepausakee starting at Moultonbourough Neck Rd. and going counterclockwise. About 60 miles of rolling hills, but no killer climbs. Hot and humid. The pace was moderate, but steady - just under 16 mph. |
Wednesday Jul 21 |
| Trail Run 3:24:36 [3]13.6 mi (15:02 / mi) | |
| |
| Loop over Mt Carrigain with Peter. Warm and humid. Lots of nice trail running, then steep climb up boulderfall (ending with 1200 feet in .6 mile), then a punishing downhill over endless rocky trail (couldn't stay with Peter on that). Good endurance training. Splits: 21:17 (1.7), 51:47 (4), 1:21:02 (6.7), 2:16:58 (8.6, top), 3:07:55 (11.9) |

| Trail/Road Run 12:04 [5]2.0 mi (6:02 / mi) | |
| |
| Morning track workout with Peter. 4 x 800 x 400. Very humid, heavy breathing, but legs and energy were good. Impending intestinal problem prevented doing a 5th or 6th. 301.3 (141), 3:00.2 (151), 3:01.1 (155), 3:01.9 (155). MHR: 159. |

Saturday Jul 10 |
| Track 15:33 [5]2.5 mi (6:13 / mi) | |
| |
| Two 1600's, then an 800, with 4 minutes in between. Mid-80's, and only 100 m. of track shaded, made this tough. 6:16, 6:16, 3:01. MHR 159. |

Monday Jul 5 |
| Trail Run 1:10:54 [3]7.5 mi (9:26 / mi) | |
| |
| From Amethyst: Frost to M&M to Pelham Rd and back. High 70's and very muggy: just didn't have the energy to push at all, especially on the way back (I carried water, but no sugar). I remembered that this section of trail didn't have many deer flies: that memory is now erased. AHR: 139, MHR: 152. Splits at N. Valley, dirt road, and Pelham Rd. 18:44, 9:42, 7:52, 6:57, 9:29, 18:10. |
Sunday Jul 4 |
| Road Run 19:51 [5]3.1 mi (6:24 / mi) | |
| |
| July 4th 5k road race in Springfield. Goal was to break 20, so I'm content. 70's with moderate humidity; but full sun and very little shade made it feel a lot hotter. Used to run this race two minutes faster, last time in '98. AHR: 153, MHR: 157. 6:11 (147), 6:14 (155), 7:26 (156). (2 mile split at least 10 seconds short.) |

| Track 12:16 [5]2.0 mi (6:08 / mi) | |
| |
| Smith track. 8x400x200. Didn't feel great - steamy conditions after heavy downpour - but the pace wasn't too arduous, even with the shorter rests (started at 1:05, drifted to 1:30 by end). 93.1 (132), 93.9 (145), 92.8 (147), 93.1 (148), 91.9 (150), 90.7 (152), 90.4 (150), 89.8 (152) |
