Sat 9/17 - AM 65 minutes easy

Lincoln woods. A return to the scene of yesterday's run but with the kiddies this time. Different route this time with a very easy first 30 minutes followed by a gradual increase in pace towards the end until the final 800 meters or so which was a sprint. I had hopes of getting in a second workout later in the day but it wasn't happening.

Fri 9/16 - PM 75 minutes easy

Lincoln woods. Escaped to the trails after a somewhat trying day at kiddies practice at the end of a typically exhausting week. Unable to move much faster than a crawl, alas.

Thu 9/15 - PM 65 minutes elliptigo arc

Framingham/Sudbury. Eager to get on the dork bike after yesterday's workout. If nothing else, feels more productive than shuffling through a slow jog.

Wed 9/14 - PM 65 minutes incl. 4x7 minute repeats

Wayland. Unable to get anything done between work and the kiddie race, dead tired as I was. Chose instead to wait until the meet was done before trying to do something of some substance. I had no idea where or what that would be and things only fell into place when I realized that the main loop of the WHS course would suffice for longish reps. Mostly flat but with the bump in the corner, each lap somewhere just shy of 900m I'd guess. Wound up doing 4x2 laps with about 90 second jog recoveries, starting in the twilight and finishing in the dark. Switched direction after each one as well. The last one was a bit slower but I think this was down more to not being able to see where I was stepping. Otherwise felt reasonably controlled throughout. Legs not worth much afterward. Humid all day with a passing shower that was quite strong, dropped the temp for a bit but did nothing for the mugginess.

Tue 9/13 - PM 20 minutes

2x10 minute jogs down Beacon Street from my super secret parking spot to the ballyard and back some 3.5 hours later. The last game of the season I'll be attending in person in all likelihood. 

Mon 9/12 - PM 75 minutes easy

Lincoln woods. Headed over after kiddie practice and squeezed in every remaining minute of usable daylight. Right calf tweaked as usual, hamstring a bit tight from yesterday as well.

Sun 9/11 - double, 60 minutes incl. 5k race, 40 minutes elliptigo and 15 minutes in Lake Cochituate

AM - 60 minutes incl. 5k. Another early wakeup call, this time heading into the city and on the ferry to Peddocks Island. Had enough time to run the loop we then ran in the race twice. Dripping with sweat as the humidity was ridiculous even if the temperature wasn't sky high. Threatening clouds let loose 3 minutes into the race with a cloudburst that at the very least cooled things off. Very windy as well. These things, plus a twisty windy two-loop course that I seriously doubt was actually 5k, made for an exceedingly slow time. Not that I cared. Cooldown was a leisurely extended affair checking out the rest of the island before being hustled back to shore.

PM - 40 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes in Lake Cochituate. After spending a chunk of the afternoon hacking weeds and downed trees, took a roundabout route to the lake on the dork bike and went aquajogging in some of the choppiest waters I can remember dealing with. The wind scoured out most of the gross sticky air from the morning leaving a much nicer if turbulent afteroon.
