Nice day, legs were feeling a little better this AM, so I decided to try my hand at the 3K, not expecting much in my current condition. After about 15 minutes warming up, set about the UConn outdoor track under bright sun and high 60's - sweating rather profusely.

It was hard right from the start, but I tried to keep the laps under 100s and pushed the last 150m or so pretty hard. Didn't think I'd even be close to 12 minutes, so pleasantly surprised at that. Will have to try again once the current Lyme symptoms dissipate, and perhaps do it a bit earlier under cooler conditions.

partly on track, partly to/from the track from my office. Mostly easy jogging, some walking during the cooldown.

3000m run - Splits

to/from Shafran - 4:18 out, 5:04 back (dragging)

Played hooky and left work early to grab a run in during the nice weather. Legs dead to start as usual, down the road in decent time. Decided if my legs were going to hurt anyway, lets see how fast I can run the loop. Quite happy with the 11:29, a bit sluggish on the way back just kind of cruising while the legs burned.

At least it doesn't appear I've lost any fitness, it just hurts to do even short runs and long runs are out of the question. Guess I'll keep up the short stuff (might as well be fast) and hope the ailments go away soon leaving me in a good place to pick up where Ieft off..

3:49 out
11:29 loop
4:24 back

Added the LoDFP for splits - need to measure the loop itself more carefully (guess on distance right now). Go back through logs for older reference runs.

Brisk after dinner walk with the boys. Legs achy, but invigorating nonetheless. Getting dark just as we finished up.

- Splits

sinus hell - bed @ 9, didn't fall asleep until 3

dragged the trainer up onto the breezeway to enjoy the nice weather. Legs totally dead - 15 minutes was enough...

Event: WCOC Sessions Woods
 

Cold, rainy jaunt in the woods with Dave Almand. Ran red course while discussing terminology, technique and such. Reasonably clean run, but not all that speedy due to my ills.... Very wet with tricky stream crossings.

I think Dave enjoyed himself.

Red - Splits

Between the Lyme and now having a pretty good headcold I really didn't feel like going out this AM, but forced myself just to get something on the board and to see what I might have.

Met up w/ John Agosto and a new runner from Holden, MA at Bigelow Hollow to run part of the Northern Nipmuck course - John was doing the whole thing, I figured I'd be lucky if I could make it as far as 2-pipes.

High 30's and light rain to start, and the legs really started to hurt right off the bat on the first hill. Powerwalked a few uphills, but managed to catch up with John & Justin on the level or downhill sections. Quite surprised to find I could stay with them all the way to the first aid station - but it was a serious effort. I bid them adieu as they continued on while I turned around.

Quickly evident that the return trip was going to be mostly powerhiking as the legs had nothing left to run on, so I stopped, put on an extra layer and set about to brisk walk bag to Bigelow hollow...

Really cold by the time I got back, and really bummed at how poorly I felt on what should have been an easy run. But I'm glad I got out there...

The return trip - an occasional spurt of jogging mostly to stay warm, but the legs really didn't have any running left in them.
