Monday: 10 easy (NT)
Tuesday: 9 miles easy (NT)
Wednesday: Ran 10-10.5 with Billy. We originally planned to run the Hi-Cannon trail to the summit of Cannon and then ridge run to N and S Kinsman, but the epic thunderstorms the Whites are known for turned us home upon arrival. Instead we ran trails near lake Masabesic* and really pushed several portions. Last 2-2.5 were probably close to 5:30 pace
Thursday: Sore, tight and dehydrated. Ran 4 measly miles very slow from the apartment. 20 minutes of core work.
Friday: Got to the Whites in the afternoon. Lauren and I hiked to Arethusa falls and then across to Frankenstein Cliff and back to the car (4 miles total). To get some kind of running in I ran from the parking area back to the bed and breakfast we're staying at. 5 miles, 29:30. Felt good, assisted by gentle downhill grade.
Saturday: Ran 60 minutes with Tilton on an old railroad bed. It was cool to meet up with a fellow CMSer in a great area for running.
Sunday: Woke early and ran 75 minutes with Al and Kevin somewhere between Bartlett and Glen on trails in the Whites. Got back to the B&B just in time for Lauren to decide she wanted to tackle Mt. Washington. It was a long day overall but the views from Tuckerman's Ravine and Lion's Head made it all worth it. Great day. So tired on the drive home.
Total: 53 miles
Notes: This week's total miles is deceivingly low because of all the trail running. I'm happy with the effort on Wednesday and Sunday's adventure should hopefully add to my endurance. Ultimately this was a great week of training and I'm getting excited to run Stowe and Carver in the coming weeks.
