9/19 - 9/25

Mon - Am - 3m (nt)

           Pm - 5m (35:50) with having this week as a transition week between jobs it seems like a prime time to see how the body handles doubling again.

Tues - 8m (4x1k @ 6min pace) 

Drove out to NY to finish moving my stuff back to NH. Shot down to Albany to workout with the guys, was a bit tired from moving/driving all day but was still able to hit the times pretty relaxed.

Times - 3:48/3:48/3:46/3:38

Wed - off - finished packing and drove home, didn't finish unpacking till 9pm.

Thurs - AM - 7m (50:49) 3x30/60/90 - Struggled hard today the first set went smooth and gave a false hope that no run yesterday was going to bother me. The 2nd set I started to struggle a bit and pick-ups were getting slower, the last rep I had no pop and could tell I wasn't moving to quick, took the 2m cool-down very easy and trotted home.

Fri - AM - 6m (46:15) @ northwood meadows W/Coree. Nice easy shake out on the trails, legs felt tired but nothing to bad.
PM - 4m (29:01) out & back - legs sore

Sat - PM - 6m (42:51) solo night run.
Sun- 13m (1:30:40) rockingham rail trail, felt good and smooth.

Total - 52m (6days)

Summary - 1 good workout 1 rough on with a solid long run.

9/12 - 9/18

Mon - 6m (41:48)

Tues - 8.75m (1:00:15) pushed the hills and relaxed on the downs, felt good.

Wed - 7m (47:21) first small workout (5x1min on 2min off) got a late start, decided to stick to the peepers course for the workout. Felt good to turn the legs over pick ups ranged from (535-550)

Thurs - 5m (37:30) legs a bit tired and tight from yesterday. Fully expected with the large gap between workout type efforts.

Fri - 7m (49:20) felt much better, keep the pace relaxed and enjoyed running at an earlier time.

Sat - 8++ (1:02:20) much cooler start to the run (48 out) felt great to not be dying of heat.

Sun - off

Summary. - 42m (6days) overall have with this week, had my first workout type effort go well. Just need to focus on getting the long run in.

8/6 - 9/11

A lot has happened and changed since the move back to NH, work got crazy and the fire burnt out. After the Father's Day 5k where I struggled to hang on at 530-540 pace and ran a horrible race (in my terms.) I made a last ditch effort of calling Pete Thomas to see what to do, the choice was clear but I couldn't make the call..time to shut it down. This was the first time I've ever stopped running with out a clear plan of when I would start back up or even if I would. Fast foward nearly 2months, I stubbed across some results from a local race seeing the win not being anything to special and thinking to myself "what the hell are you doing, that's an easy win and $." I knew it was going to take a lot of time and work to get it back but the fire was going again. I met with former Berlin High teammate (and close friend) Coree Kinerson who was also trying to get back in shape. We decided it would be best to work at it together, it's been a slow build with my miles and feeling able to handle it.

The past 6 weeks have been:

27/33/35/37/30/41

No major jumps in miles, very slow building, with the goal of being race ready by late winter early spring. With the start of a new job in a few weeks and aces to top notch facilities I'm feeling that goal will be reached. 

Hopefully I'll have sometime to keep the blog going and see if I can get back to where I used to be.
