Run Run Run

20.3 miles - 2:22 pm

I had a great day today.  My wife woke me up when I heard her yelling, "There are two coyotes in the back woods!"  Sure enough, I jumped out of bed and looked out the kitchen window and there were two very healthy coyotes walking through the woods.  I love that stuff.  

After my wife went for her walk, we ended up visiting my mother-in-law in West Townsend MA which is a stones throw from the NH border.  I looked at google maps and figured out a good 20 mile route with some nice climbs and descents.  This route didn't disappoint..... my quads are absolutely trashed from the downs :)  7:49 avg.

4.23 miles @ lunch

Legs were sore, but I still managed to have a little Giddy-up after yesterdays long run.  7:11 avg.

7.82 miles @ lunch

Legs are still a bit sore, but I’ll take sore legs and 50 degree temps all day long.  After the winter we’ve had, it feels like a real blessing to get out in shorts and a t-shirt.  7:07 avg.

7.75 miles @ lunch

Squeezed this one in before the rain.  7:10 avg.

3.1 miles @ lunch (treadmill)

Cold with sideways snow and wind.  No thanks to running outside.  I ran on the mill at the gym and couldn't take it anymore at the 5K mark.  I'll use this as a rest day.

10.89 miles

We had a few Birthday parties to go to today, so I didn't start this one until 3:45.  The temps were nice, but it was a bit windy.  I ended up shedding a longsleeve and gloves about 3.5 miles into the run and tied them around small tree.  6:51 avg.
