 | Trail Run 34:52 [2] 3.1 mi (11:14 / mi) | |
| |
| Jogged the Noho 5k course with Adam. Trail conditions were awful. I toss it off as "good training", but Adam had a less positive perspective. |
Saturday Dec 22 |
 | Road Run race 44:21 [4] 6.28 mi (7:03 / mi) vdot: 46.6 | |
| |
| Forest Park 10k (though it's longer: forerunner 6.28; sportstrack/google earth 6.36). Temp about 32, perfect for shorts. I ran about the time I expected - not especially fast (roads were slick, and had to stop to go under two gates), but I felt good to the end. Even ran negative split, which is unusual for me. Quite pleased. 7:20, 7:01, 6:58, 6:59, 7:11, 6:50, 1:59 (.28 m). |
 | Road Run 4:30 [2] 0.5 mi (8:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Only had time for a minimal warm-up. |

| weight:144lbs |
| Indoor track after lifting. 3x800 with full recovery. 3:05, 3:02, 3:02. Since my goal was just 3 800's at sub-3:10, I was quite pleased. Peter (aka "the Klutz"): I'm ready and waiting. |

 | Trail Run 31:32 [2] 2.5 mi (12:36 / mi) | |
| |
| The nearest entrance to snowmobiled trails from UMass (I think) is up at Atkins Reservoir, where the M-M leaves and climbs up to and along the power line. But conditions were not great: bottom half I often had to tightrope a narrow jeep track; top half, the center of the snowmobile track was a bit soft, and I often sunk in 2-4 inches. (There hasn't been any melting and refreezing yet, which is what firms these up). So I just went to the top at the power line, where the trail heads steeply downhill before climbing again. Legs felt fine. 18:08, 13:24 |

| 12 minutes on the bike waiting for an elliptical. Then 25 minutes on the elliptical.
Left quad still a bit sore, but not bad at all. Could probably run tomorrow (on snow), but work may not allow it. |
