Sat 9/10 - 60 minutes elliptigo plus 15 minutes in Lake Boon

After spending the morning at Maudslay Park in Newburyport watching other people run got home bone tired. Got on the road eventually but later than I would have wanted, making the return trip a somewhat fraught affair in gathering darkness. Took the longer way to the lake, via route 27 and Hudson road, coming back via Fairbank.

Fri 9/9 - 55 minutes easy plus 20 minutes in Walden

Lincoln woods. I had planned on hopefully doing something of higher intensity today but it wasn't to be, far too tired by the end of the day. Wound up running to the pond, having a dip and then heading back. Wound up to an obnoxious level of mania by the various coaching obligations weighing on my fragile mind.

Thu 9/8 - PM 60 minutes elliptigo arc

Wayland. Took my turn on the dork bike after the kiddies had theirs. Thought I would get into the lake but it wasn't to be.

Wed 9/7 - PM 35 minutes easy

Squeezed in a quick run around the periphery of Area 51 between work and the first weekday afternoon meet of the season. Stiff and right quad tweaked from yesterday.

Tue 9/6 - PM 60 minutes incl. timed pickups

Wayland. Five sets of 3.5 minutes steady, minute jog, 30 seconds hard, minute jog. Felt pretty good all things considered. Disgustingly humid conditions have returned with a vengeance. Rolled right ankle on a tree root at one point, the aqueduct surface not as smooth as I had thought.

Mon 9/5 - PM 90 minutes elliptigo plus 15 minutes in Walden

Concord/Lincoln. Got on the dork bike at the end of a long day of traveling and unpacking. Still tired of course.

Sun 9/4 - AM 80 minutes including uphill road race

Terrible, flat effort. Like most of the others this summer. Continued inability to get anything resembling a decent night's sleep is absolutely killing me of late. When the going got tough today I was completely incapable of doing anything about it despite the presence of plenty of people to run with, at least by the standards of this sparsely attended event. To top it off I just missed breaking an hour, first time in a long time if ever that has happened. Galling. Decent conditions with fairly low humidity.

Sat 9/3 - AM 70 minutes elliptigo

Back and forth and back and forth between the old place and West Concord. Planned on heading towards Concord center but route 62 entirely closed off.
