Easy spin on the bike...legs feel ok, just a bit tired...felt it was good to just relax for the day.

Running (Ultra Race) 5:55:00 [3] 34.0 mi (10:26 / mi) +3500ft 9:31 / mi
Bel Monte '50k' - trail race with tons of climbing, and a lot of fun. Felt good, went out a bit harder than normal, since there were a few ladies on my tail, but settled into my groove around mile 15...ran strong through mile 30, but struggled on the last few miles up the hill to the finish line - I think I just wasn't mentally prepared to be out there for almost 6 hours. But, feel like I ran strong and well over the terrain, and was able to open up the stride pretty good on the road sections.

Easy hike with Brian - we hiked into a portion of the Bel Monte course, to appreciate the views when we're not racing! It was nice.

Running (Hills) 1:10:00 [3] 8.0 mi (8:45 / mi) +1500ft 7:26 / mi
This was going to be my 'run going a bit harder on the hills', but since I was forced to do this run before work, and it was dark and incredibly foggy when we started, it turned into hill repeats. Ran w/ Kelsey - we warmed up around S. Deerfield, and then started up Sugarloaf, and did 2 x road hills (one each way...and going left f-ing hurt!)...and then did a trail hill cause it was getting light enough. Then, cooled down by going down the hill and around the backside.
Running (Easy run) 1:15:00 [1] 9.5 mi (7:54 / mi)
Easy run on bike path w/ Aaron J. and Mike O. - from the gym up to Amherst Woods and back.

Running (Easy run) 1:35:00 [1] 12.4 mi (7:40 / mi)
Easy run around Holyoke with Laura and Annie - did the 'Highlands' loop, then did a lap around the Reservoir. It felt good, except Annie kept trying to 'tempo' parts of the run and I kept trying to slow her back down and keep it easy pace. Oh well, great to run with these ladies, and interesting to run on the road again after all last week on the trails!
Walking (Hiking) 2:15:00 [1] 6.5 mi (20:46 / mi)
Hiked the Seven Sisters ridge with Jenny...it was awesome weather, and the views were great without leaves on the trees. But, I had forgotten how tough this trail is...don't know how I ever raced this! :)
