8/4 - 8/14 Vacation week, an adventure in the Whites, and back to reality

Monday: 80 minute bike ride with Greg heading north up the Cape and back.

Tuesday: 9 miles / 6:50 pace with a gut full of fried seafood... brutal!

Wednesday: 7 miles / 6:22 pace on the rail trail with Lauren keeping me company on the her bike.

Thursday: 0 - off day. Feeling cooked from several days on the beach. Electrolytes are not well balanced.

Friday: double, 4 and 4, using mile markers on the bike path. NT. GPS watch ran out of battery.

Saturday: 3 miles in 19:33 at the gym. Travel off the Cape was exceptionally worse than expected and we had dinner plans with the Rich family so we were rushing around. Lauren wanted to swim so we headed to the gym after unpacking. Of course, I forgot socks, so I was forced to either suffer massive blisters or call it early. Finished with two sets of weights: 10 x 20 lb lunges, 20 x 20 lb curls, 15 x 75 lb lat pull-downs, 15 x 25 lb shoulder press, 9 minutes of planks, a few supermans.

Sunday: 9.7 miles on the trails at a good clip. Glad to be back home!

Monday: 8.3 mile hike to 13 falls campsite in the Pemi wilderness area with Tim, Tyler and Billy.

Tuesday: Partial Pemi loop completed: 29.7 miles / 7300' elevation gained and lost.

Wednesday: Off - very necessary! Had a good meeting with the new Athletic Director at school.

Thursday: 8.2 miles / 6:22 pace in Westford waiting on the Honda to hopefully be operational. Glutes, hips and quads are sore but functional. Felt great from an aerobic standpoint. The weather was amazingly nice... Cross Country season is in the air!
