Monday July 14 (pm) - 7M

Ran 5+ with Cliff and others from Cold Springs, quite slowly, and then a much faster lap of the Park to make approx 7 miles. Legs felt good, and I felt like I could have gone much faster at any point.

Sunday July 13 (am ) - 7M

IN MAINE

Last day in Maine. Got up early and drove with Ann to other side of the island. She dropped me off at Eagle Lake and I ran the loop around it plus an extra mile, stopping at 51:30.

Legs still felt rather dead. Probably from the combination of activities yesterday. No breathing difficulties, just dead legs, and a little bit of soreness in my right quad.

I kind of missed doing a long run in Maine this year, but I wouldn't have wanted to do anything longer than 7M today.

Saturday July 12 (am) - 6M

IN MAINE

Finally managed to get up early enough to run before breakfast (finally caught up on sleep). I chose a very easy route out the driveway and along Rt 102, which was very quiet on a Saturday morning. Legs felt quite dead after last two days.

Afterwards, went on a 3M walk with Tim, Kiki, and Ann, and had lunch and popovers at Jordan Pond House. Went kayaking in the afternoon. I think I might finally be getting the hang of this vacation thing.

Friday July 11 (noon) - 6M

IN MAINE

Ran 6M on Long Pond Rd. in 42:06. Not as hard as yesterday (avoided the really big hill) but I was also feeling tired from that effort. Wouldn't have wanted to go a step farther. Thought about hitting 200m for the summer.

Thursday July 10 (noon) - 7M

IN MAINE

This was the hardest run I have done in a long time. I ran to Long Pond and back, very hilly course in 48:24 (6:55 pace), working pretty hard on the way back to maintain form on the hills. The big hill up from the Pond and the shoulder of Western Mtn is a killer.

Ran my usual 4M course through the Flowed Meadows, ran a bit extra to make it an even 30 minutes.

Needed an an easy day, as legs were pretty cooked from recent long runs.
