| ahr:129 max:152 rhr:49 slept:8.5 weight:168lbs shoes: Adidas Response Trail 9 |
| good group - Kevin, bruce, dave, ginny and a new guy from Mansfield - fairly fast
good pace, energy waned after sandpit, but pushed through anyway
Deb's car in lot at finish, must have arrrived late but not caught us (or run elsewhere) |
| Note | |
| |
| skipped cranbury sprints so I could take Jackson & Anna to a kids fun run after my am trail run. but got home and they weren't ready, so no fun run.... oh well |
Thursday Oct 27 |
| Trail Run - Tempo (Crandalls - lower loop) 18:38 [3]3.75 km (4:58 / km) +40m 4:43 / km | |
| ahr:147 max:178 rhr:44 slept:7.5 weight:167lbs shoes: Kumasi GTX |
| Normal crandalls loop but without the hill - left on red, around to yellow, resuming normal course at base of hill.
Harder effort, felt better than yesterday, pace fell off last couple minutes - overall good run, a bit of asthma afterwards. |
Wednesday Oct 26 |
| Trail Run - Tempo (Crandalls) 27:00 [3]5 km (5:24 / km) +165m 4:38 / km | |
| ahr:140 max:153 rhr:47 slept:6.0 weight:167lbs shoes: Kumasi GTX |
| woohoo! finally got out for a run - albeit a pretty pathetic one. Ran normal loop in reverse, most leaves down, lots of water on trail, very slick. Chest very tight, wheezy - hopefully a couple back to back runs will clear that up |
Tuesday Oct 25 |

| Happy feet - raining so we were indoors in gym doing fitness games, no actual running for me - just the kids |
Sunday Oct 23 |
| Orienteering - Event (Trout Brook Sprint 3) 1:27:00 [1]2 km (43:30 / km) +75m 36:38 / km | |
| spiked:14/14c shoes: Kumasi GTX |
| took kids out for a sprint course - each one alternating legs - we'd look at map choose features and then I'd send them off while shadowing with other two. Quite fun and more challenging than beginner courses. |

Sunday Oct 16 |
| Trail Run - Tempo race (Soapstone Assault) 58:09 [4]8.75 km (6:39 / km) +600m 4:57 / km | |
| ahr:143 max:158 |
| Dope, dope, dope...
After not having time to run for a few weeks, I had a few hours to myself, so headed up to Soapstone for an easy hour run. Got to parking lot and many cars there, I get out and Jerry asks me if I'm here for the race - the last (fastest) runners had just started about 2 minutes earlier - what the hell I figure, its about an hour so I grab a bib number and hit the trail.
Oh yeah, the assault climbs and descends Soapstone Mtn six times on a circuit route around the base - most are very rocky and the final climb is steep enough that they just finish the race at the top of the fire tower - quad buster from hell. Plus most trails had running or standing water depending upon their pitch
no warmup so it took a while to loosen up, then by halfway I was shedding clothes - I had dressed for a slower, easy run. Passed about 6 people, saw many more as they headed down as I went up. Finished about 6:30 behind Deb who won the race in a bit over 51 minutes which is also around my pr for this course I believe. But it was really painful - esp climbing - after no running for a while, but the latter half felt much looser. |

| Helping out with after-school running club again. Did some interval laps around soccer fields - fast on short ends, recover along long side. third time around one of the 2nd graders wanted to race me - but I had to run the whole way backwards - actually quite a workout, not sure if it helped me at all, but it certainly seemed to be stressing different muscle groups. |

| got out of work a little early, so squeezed in a quick loop at Crandalls before going to Birch Grove for running club. Was short on time, so was pushing it as best I could - awesome day to be out running, wish I could have run longer.. |
