Training 11/18 -11/24

Monday: 0 - off. Planned rest day following the big effort on Sunday. Spun around town with Lauren running errands and by time I got home I wanted to run!

Tuesday: 5 easy AM / 5.5 easy PM with Newbould and Phillips Exeter team. Chatted with Hamster at his new place in the Phillips training room after.

Wednesday: 9 / 67 minutes very easy. Still feeling the effects of Sunday. Legs have no pop.

Thursday: 10.8 / 75 minutes easy again. Ran into a speedy Seniors runner tempoing so I ran with her for a few miles before adding on behind Andover HS.

Friday: off. Lengthy meeting after school ate up my time to run. Headed straight to dinner with some friends and too stuffed after to drag myself off the couch. Running at 9 PM on a Friday isn't a great idea anyway, right?

Saturday: 17.1 / 1:54:20. 6:41 pace all in Andover. Started at Ballardvale, ran the High Plain loop then out toward the Feaster start line, up High St out out to Phillips along Wildwood and back home. Progressed from 7:10 down into the 6:20. Felt better as the run went on. Some good hills. Loop here.

Sunday: 9 miles / 65 minutes with college teammate and all around good fella Joe Van Gombos. Nice and easy on trails.

49 miles on 5 days. Probably should have better anticipated the downtime that would be needed after going hard last Sunday. First several days of the week were a drag. Felt really good about the long run this Saturday. Feaster 5 this week!
