Week 25: Enter July

Monday, 7/1: 5.1 mi / 47:26 with Bill and Joe. The deer fly reminded me why I don't run much trail in July. Holy ... they were bad!! Began counting how many I killed until it numbered well past 50.

Tuesday, 7/2: Off / with Connor.

Wednesday, 7/3 10 miles, 66:15 on the treadmill at PF. Started at 6:58 pace and brought it down each mile. Last mile went 6:00 pace. Glad for treadmills on 90+ degree days when you have to run at noon!

Thursday, 7/4 - Off. Happy Fourth! Swam a bit in the pool. Back is oddly tight, but not painful.

Friday, 7/5 - Connor duty all dang day. Should have gotten out there, but I didn't.

Saturday, 7/6 - 52:16 / 15.32 . 17.8 mph with 1000 ft of climbing. Went earlier once Connor went down to beat the heat. Felt decent, except my back was a little tight and cranky, especially early on.

Sunday, 7/7

Week 24

Monday: 9.5 mile MTB with Colin in Bear Brook. Took it fairly easy. Colin's first time really riding.

Tuesday: Off. Hung with Connor. Took him to the beach for the first time.

Wednesday: 10.2 miles super fun ride in Bear Brook with Marc, Nate and Tim. Went pretty hard on this, with 800+ ft of climbing and 9.5 mph average.

Thursday: 15.4 miles on the road bike. 17 MPH. A few hills but nothing unusual.

Friday: 6 miles in college woods with Wes. 8:50 pace?

Saturday: 4 miles roads from home at 7 min pace. Not in it today.

Sunday: 5.5 miles in College Woods with Joe. 9 minute pace or whatever the GPS claims. Felt pretty good.

Summary. Good week. First half characterized by riding and second half by running.
