| Note | |
| |
| Driving north this morning on I-91, going up a long hill at White River Jct with low clouds overhead. Crested the hill, came around a bend and face to face with a hot air balloon about 200' off the ground, just poking out of the mist over the highway. Surprise almost put me in the bushes. Quick way to wake up first thing! |
Saturday Oct 13 |
| Road Running (Chester via PO/rte 11 RT) 58:00 [3]6.0 mi (9:39 / mi) | |

| Hiking (Town Forest) 1:00:00 [1]2.0 mi (29:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Hike around the Lost Mine Trail late afternoon. Very nice until Casey got into some foul organic matter and Ruthie had to clean the gooey stuff out of her mouth. |
Friday Oct 12 |
| Trail Running (Daily hill run) 30:00 [3]1.3 mi (23:04 / mi) | |
| |
| Wanted to do a road run, but Casey headed up the hill. Came down by way of the Lumber Road and tossed some cut saplings off to the side. Yanked my R calf doing this and pulled the muscle. Seems better after three part treatment: hot tub at 108F, cold shower, and good chunk of a bottle of wine. See how the results hold up tomorrow. |
Thursday Oct 11 |
| Road Running (Cummings Rd +) 29:24 [3]3.0 mi (9:47 / mi) | |

Tuesday Oct 9 |

12 pullups |
| Roller skiing (Chester/Vt Country Store) 1:09:40 [4]12.0 mi (5:47 / mi) | |
| |
| Hard workout on just a great route. Rolling, wide shoulders with natural sections to sprint and then recover. Blown over a few times by all those tour buses, but then it's that time of year.
Out 34/back 36 |
Monday Oct 8 |

Sunday Oct 7 |
| Trail Running hills (Daily hill run x 4) 55:00 [4]3.0 mi (18:20 / mi) | |
| |
| Much cooler and dryer today (fall weather?), so Casey and I decided to give the hill workout a try.
Warmup 15.20 - up 8.39 / down 6.40
13.39 - 7.54 / 5.45
9.31 new best - 6.23 / 3.08
Cool down 15.00 - 8.11 / 6.50
Probably more than I should have done on my sore knee, but felt pretty good. Tried to run "lightly" even on the fast descent. Soaking afterwards in the hot tub I'm sure was good for it, too. |
Saturday Oct 6 |
| Road Running (Green Mtn Tpk) 1:15:00 [3]6.5 mi (11:32 / mi) | |
| |
| Not smart to run after checking out the Saxtons River chili cookoff, and trying 15 different kinds of chili. Needless to say, quite sluggish and kind of unsettled. |
Friday Oct 5 |
| Roller skiing (Weston) 34:10 [3]6.0 mi (5:41 / mi) | |

| Out VT-100 from Andover Rd to VT-155 jct RT. Flat, pretty run with shoulders just a bit narrow.
