Sunday, 10/3/10 to Saturday, 10/9/10

I ran 3 times this week, 25.3 miles.

Sun, 10/3: 9 miles, 1:29:23, 9:56 pace, 50F, cloudy, a bit windy, damp, no pain.

CJ and I headed down to Mendon Ponds Park for the Autumn Classic Trail Race. There was a lot of stuff going on ... a 4.5 and 9 mile trail race and a Formula 1 and Sprint Duathlon. I was there for the 9 miler, 2 loops of 4.5 miles on the hilly Blue and Green trail. It was a long, hard course .. but I settled in with a good speed and finished strong. I was 31st out of 67, results here. I was 6th out of 14 in my age group, results here.

The rest of the day was lazy ... reading the Sunday paper, watching a bit of the Bills going down to 0-3 against the Jets, taking a nap. We watched Alice in Wonderlandfrom Netflix later in the evening.Tue, 10/5: 6.8 miles, 56:13, 8:17 pace, 48F, cloudy, a light mist, no stops, no pain.

Garmin Connect Activity for FF Cobb's Hill run, 3 Y's, long way back

CJ and I headed down to Fleet Feet for the Tuesday Cobb's Hill run. I ran up, did 3 Y's and took the long way back. CJ went to the walking workout and did 30 minutes. We hit up Little Casear's for $5 pizza on the way back.

On the positive side, I got my new RoadID. I choose a blue Wrist ID Elite Interactive. CJ almost cut the wrist band too tight but it fits ... barely. Here is a link to a $1 off coupon good until 10/30.

Thu, 10/7: Another rest day. I wanted to run but was held up until 5:30PM at work due to a meeting that ran long (which meeting doesn't?) and then finished up some paperwork.

Fri, 10/8: 9.5 miles, 1:17:22, 8:08 pace, 68F, sunny, windy, dry, 3 mini stops for hydration, no pain.

Garmin Connect Activity for Up to Cobbs Hill, 5 loops, back long way

CJ and I headed down to Fleet Feet for the usual Friday night Happy Hour run. I had decided that I needed to run long so I warned CJ that I would be a while before I was back. I ran up the usual route to the Cobbs Hill reservoir ... then did 5 loops and took the same way back. It was so dry that I barely worked up a sweat but I did stop 3 times for a mini hydration break. CJ went out with the walking group for 2 miles.

Sat, 10/9: Rest day. Didn't do much.
