 | Trail Run - Tempo (Crandalls ext) 27:10 [3]6.6 km (4:07 / km) +165m 3:40 / km | |
| ahr:148 max:194 rhr:47 slept:7.0 |
| 5:00pm - overcast, warm. Ran outer loop but cut across by lodge, over to Red trail and reran first part for a bit of extra distance. Course has lots of twists and turns - would like to wheel it sometime. Might be nice for a mid-winter 6-hour/50k fat ass type run - short loop, big hill, heated aid station at the lodge? Who knows... will think about it.
Not sure where 194 HR came in - probably on hill although I wasn't pushing it super hard, I wasn't running it easy uphill either. |

| 8:15pm - short, easy run before it got dark. Had dinner at Harry's place on way back from Mystic - heavy stomach for running.
Turned on the HR alarm to beep over 70%. Only 66 seconds above the zone, rest stayed in the zone.
14:46 out, 15:15 back
1500m return - 7:46 |

 | Road Run (Cider Mill Tempo) 20:58 [4]5 km (4:12 / km) | |
| ahr:155 max:167 rhr:48 slept:6.5 |
| Feeling pretty tired of late, could just be lack of running opportunity. Didn't feel like driving to a trail late in the day, so opted to run the Cider Mill 5k course - USATF measured 5k - perhaps I'll run this as a weekly benchmark. Not fully sure of course, ran first mile briskly, but not excessively, then easy for the middle and pushed the latter third, although I was pretty tired the last 5 minutes or so. Intermediate marks not evident on road, so splits are at each major turn.
Gehring Rd Ext - 6:40 (HR 149 avg)
Weigold - 3:43 (HR 157 avg)
Metcalf Crossing - 4:13 (160 avg)
Finish - 6:21 (161 avg) |

Wednesday Jul 21 |
 | Road Run (Eastwood Loop) 17:55 [3]4.5 km (3:59 / km) | |
| ahr:140 max:151 |
| 11am, sunny, humid, mid 80's - same as yesterday but not as sluggish on the backside. Actual time was 19:35, but had 1:40 stop at ATM and to tie shoes. HR down to 95 during 'break' but picked things right back up after getting cash for lunch. |

| noon, 85, sunny, humid. Quads not sore anymore, so out for another brisk run. Felt good for first half - 8:07 to post office, but then the energy just left me for the back half. Just no resolve to push... |
Monday Jul 19 |
 | Note | |
| |
| Lots of muscle soreness Sunday and Monday AM. After not running for a month, coming back with relatively hard runs, albeit short ones, not such a good idea. Perhaps do an easy run this afternoon, but otherwise will lay off until muscle soreness subsides. |

| sore calves etc. Went swimming w/kids in PM - ran outer loop first. T-Storms arrived at end closing the beach. Ran the uphill, although very tough not to slow to a walk. Brisk on the downhill, not much left at the end - more of a slow jog around the ball fields. |

| First run in over a month. Moderately hard pace, but not really pushing - not sure what I had in me. Right calf tight early on - loosened up. Chest very tight. Not a bad time considering.. |
