fri-mon
friday:
very muggy. ran ~79 minutes. ran to/around/back roosevelt forest. the run itself was very nice. the humidity was intense. ran relatively easy.
saturday:
ran ~47 minutes or so with my brother via the new haven reservoirs on the trails. again, it was very muggy. it was nice to be out on the trails w/my bro. in general felt a bit tired.
sunday:
made a last minute very quick trip up to vermont to see my twin sister. got to jump into the stowe 8 mile race. the course was a bit tougher than i expected. the first half wasn't too bad. the second half had many long gradual uphills. combine that with the sun and early morning humidity and you get a challenge. i think i was 15th for women. my splits : 6:22, 6:37, 6:36, 6:22, 7:04, 6:56, 7:04, 6:44 (53:49). i felt overall a bit tired in the race. but i also felt strong. i spent the afternoon in the lake with my twin sister and all of her friends. i then left later that night to head south to return to my puppies & family.
monday:
ran ~6 miles w/my nephew. we ran to/around/back roosevelt forest. it was another muggy run. we ran around 8:30 at night. it was a very nice run. we kept the pace easy--as i was still tired from sunday's effort.
