Lazy day...I was supposed to get in an easy 1-1.5 hour run...and just with other stuff going on, I let the day pass and never got out to run. I feel guilty now about it, but at this point there's nothing I can do.

Easy run around the trails w/ Nick, Frank, and Jeff - we did the big loop at Earl's Trails, then did 2 x small loop, and Frank and I ran on the RFT to the back of Norwottuck and back to add a bit of distance. I felt great - relaxed, and really like I never got 'tired' even as the time wore on.

Easy run w/ Aaron, from my house, around Sugarloaf trails, and back. Felt like we were moving well - Aaron even commented that he felt like the pace was faster than normal (altho it was the same effort), so it's nice to hear that someone notices that I must be getting faster or more comfortable on the trails.

Easy run w/ Aaron J. around bike path and Amherst College/Groff Park trails. Felt good - it was mid-40s by the time we ran...and felt great to run in such warm conditions...

Easy run w/ Nicole and Laura - did the bike path/Look Park loop. I wanted to add in a bit of tempo, so once we hit Look Park, we did a double loop at tempo pace. I felt good, really stretched the legs out, and did 2.8 miles in 18:15 (6:30s?), so that's great. Great run, especially for my 2nd run of the day. We did all feel a bit sluggish on the first 4 miles up to Look Park, but felt much better on the return trip. :)

Easy run at the track...some of the ladies were doing a track workout, but I'm opting out this week! :) So, it was laps while catching up with the ladies.

Easy trail run - Brian and I met up to do the Earl's Trails loop from Chumera Rd. There was snow on the entire loop, so it slowed us, but it was only 5 minutes slower for the entire loop...so that's not that bad. Felt good - hammie still a bit tight, but in general was good to get out on the trails.

Easy spin...but had to cut it short to go to the car dealership...yup, I'm getting a new car. That will be the stress of the week! :)
