This week was by far the most I have done in quite some time. I managed to log 65 miles this week, and even had a 7 day period that totaled over 70 from last Sunday through Saturday. I ran a very long run on Christmas that left me a little sore, but not too bad. At any rate, I am ready to go for Boston training and look forward to starting some serious training. It starts next week officially, but it some ways it has already begun.
Monday: I met Caitlyn in Worcester and we ran a 6.8 loop mile loop. Neither one of us were too keen on running too hard and it just ended up being an easy run with nothing much to write home about. Total 6.8 miles.
Tuesday: I helped out with the elementary school concert running the sound and didn't get to start this run until 8:30 or so. That's not entirely true, since I could have run earlier in the afternoon, but I just wasn't up for it. I read a lot of running-related Facebook updates that got me pumped about running, but then it was time to go to the concert. I stopped by the Oxford HS track and ran 29+ laps. It was windy, but not as cold as last time I was here. Total 7.25 miles.
Wednesday: I met Caitlyn in Spencer and we ran sort of out and back on Route 9, but on the way back we stopped at the David Prouty track and did 2 miles up there. It started to snow pretty hard and I enjoyed it so much I added a couple more miles later on that evening. Total 8.65 miles.
Thursday: Back to Haverhill. I dropped my car off in Newburyport to get the suspension work it needed. I ran back to Haverhill at an easy pace. Had to stop at Dunkin' Donuts for a bathroom break at about 8 miles. It was fun to run point to point. Total 10 miles.
Friday: I ran a half mile to Winnekenni to meet Matt and we ran an easy loop around Kenoza Lake and then some on the roads. This was done at an easy pace. I ran a tad extra getting back home. Total 7.3 miles.
Saturday: I gave myself a Christmas present by running a 30K loop all around Haverhill. The only sections I really didn't run in were Ward Hill, Rocks Village, and Riverside. It was a lot of fun, although I was getting pretty sore starting at 15 miles or so. I didn't run it all that fast, but did average just under 8 minutes a mile. It left me a little sore, but with a run this long that is to be expected. Total 18.6 miles.
Sunday: Before heading up to my brother's, I ran for about 50 minutes on North Ave into Plaistow and then back on Main Street. I started a pattern of stopping at a Dunkin' Donuts by stopping again almost 5 miles into the run. I felt much better after using the restroom. Again, not too fast averaging just under 8 minutes a mile. Total 6.4 miles.
Total for Week: 65 miles
Month: 188.9
Year: 2,257
