Week of April 2nd-8th
Monday - 7mi/47min in Pisgah w/Griffin. Legs pretty sore today. Started track.
Tuesday - 14mi/1:28 in Pisgah w/Ferenc, Fyffe, George, and the Girls. Beautiful weather. Had a great run.
Wednesday - 11mi*/72min - track workout - 2mi (10:35) 400rest 1mi (5:09) 400rest 4x200(34sec) w/Ferenc. (Miller, James, George, and Chris there too). O.k. workout. The wind was tough. We were supposed to do 2x3mile but we weren't feeling it. It's nice that we were both thinking the same thing. Rain and hail came down for 10 minutes or so.
Thursday - 0mi
Friday - 3mi/26min with track team in Friedsam Forest + 8mi/51min in Pisgah w/Griffin. Starting to get sick. Losing my voice. My legs feel great though.
Saturday - 22mi*/2:25 - Northern Nipmuck 16+mi trail race - 2:05:10 - 1st place.
I went down with Boj early on Saturday morning. We rocked out on the way down, unfortunately, I couldn't sing because I had no voice. He hit all the notes just fine without me.
I was hoping to be under Ferenc's record of 1:59:25 set in 2008. He is definitely one of the best trail runner's to ever lace up a pair or sneakers, so taking down his record would be extra sweet. The course was changed this year, it was about 9 tenths of a mile longer with 4 wheel drive roads added to the start to avoid bottle necking, so there was some good news and bad news. The bad news was I wouldn't be taking down Ferenc's record. The good news was if I could win, I would set the new course record. I took off fairly fast with Ross Krause following very closely through the new fast running section. After 2miles, we hit the original single track trail and Ross hung tough. I was wearing my Saucony Kinvaras and they felt horribly un-nimble on the technical sections. I guess it was a bad shoe choice. I usually wear my Inov -8's but they really beat my body up in the longer races, but they are very fast and nimble.
At the first aid station around 4miles, I started to put a little day light between myself and Ross. This is where the running gets a little tough as there is a lot of climbing. After those climbs the trail opens up and is really fast for a while before getting to the twisty climbing ridge section before aid station #2 at the turn around. I felt good for the first half of the race, which I usually do. Hitting the turn around in over an hour I knew that the new course was definitely longer, though I didn't feel like I was running very fast compared to other years. Climbing out of aid station #2 is one of the toughest climbs of the race, it makes me think of 7 Sisters a little bit, but it's not quite as tough. Here is where the real work begins, the 2nd half seems brutal. I think it's impossible to even or negative split this race. I ran pretty well all the way until the last aid station (#3 - 12miles) I knew I had a decent lead on Ross, but this last 4mile section to the finish usually does me in. I ended up hurting pretty bad and walking some of the hills. The last mile is great as it is all down hill. It was nice to hit the finish line in 2:05:10. I was pleased to get the win. This is the 3rd time I've won this race now. The Kinvaras may have been a bad choice for this technical course, but the extra cushioning they provide worked. My legs felt good enough to run a short cool down. Usually wearing the Inov-8's, I can barely walk after this race.
Sunday - 5mi/35min - I ran in Cawley Forest w/Griffin. I think this is the name of this park in a town outside of Norfolk, MA. It's a cool little place to run. My legs feel amazingly good. I am sick, have absolutely no voice. Feel a wee bit run down.
Total - 70mi
Tuesday - 14mi/1:28 in Pisgah w/Ferenc, Fyffe, George, and the Girls. Beautiful weather. Had a great run.

Week of March 26th - April 1st
Monday - 10mi/63min on Pinnacle Mtn w/Ferenc, Fyffe, and the Girls. Ferenc was feeling fresh and killing us up the climb early. I took over the leading duties and slowed it down. Very windy.
Tuesday - 10mi/69min in Pisgah w/George and Griffin. Nice and easy run. Beautiful day out in the woods.
Wednesday - 11mi*/75min - track workout 4-4-8-16-8-4-4 (70,70,2:24,4:58,2:20,70,67) w/half rest. Ran w/Fyffe and Miller a few steps ahead on the first 8 and 16. Was able to run with them for the rest of the workout. I felt pretty tired going into this so I was pleased with the outcome. (Boj, James, George, and Chris there too). Lifted weights.
Thursday - 14mi/1:28 in Pisgah w/Ferenc and the Girls. Great run. Saw Chris Hayhurst out there. What's he doing running in my forest? Legs good today.
Friday - 0mi. Lot's of dunking at school. 9'2" two hands - two feet, reverses, one handers. Lifted weights.
Saturday - 12mi*/1:16 - Fast Friends 4.5mi - 24:14(5:23) 4th place. Man this race course is tough. I had a good warm up with McKnight, Miller, and Matt Clark. At the start of the race McKnight took off fast. I hung behind Fyffe a few ticks. Mark surged after the big down hill on Ash Hill and Fyffe just slowly put a couple seconds per mile on me. I was thinking it would have been nice to quit at 3miles and again at 4miles. The last half mile through the neighborhood is brutal. I was a few seconds slower than the last 2 attempts, but oh well. Here are my miles (5:11, 5:24, 5:25, 5:27, 2:43). Had a nice cool down with a big group and then had fun at Andy's after.
Sunday - 19mi*/2:01 on the Putney Rds w/Ferenc and Fyffe. Great run. We were rolling along enjoying the nice weather. My legs feel pretty good.

Sunday - 22mi*/2:29 in the Gilsum Woods w/George, Ferenc, and Fyffe. Awesome run. Felt good the whole way. Dawson (George's 12 yr old son) ran the last 3+ miles with us. Enjoyed some pizza after. I saw a Northern Harrier flying low over some fields in Westmoreland on the ride home. Nice bird sightings this weekend.
Total - 76miles. Good week. 2 days off. Nice and low delta. I'll get more mileage next week and lift twice. Keep up the stretching and yoga. My lower back was tight at the beginning of week, but better now.

Week of March 12th - 18th
Monday - 8mi/55min in Pisgah w/Fyffe and Griffin. Beautiful sunny day. I left Jen in the woods waiting for me at the gate, while we ran home. Oops!
Tuesday - 0mi
Wednesday - 10mi*/67min - Track workout 10x200m(32-31 sec avg) w/Fyffe and George.(James there also). Nice and easy workout. Lifted weights.
Thursday - 9mi/63min in Pisgah w/Ferenc and the Girls. Trails are 100% clear of snow and ice. Usually they're not clear until the 2nd week of April. Lower back is tight.
Friday - 8mi/52min in Pisgah w/Griffin. Good run saw some wood ducks and black ducks. I did some yoga to loosen up my back. It seemed to help.
Saturday - 5mi/35min in Pisgah w/Griffin and (Jen). Drove down to Norfolk, MA to stay with Jen's brother's family the night before New Bedford.
Sunday - 17mi*/1:45 - New Bedford Half Marathon - 1:12:45(5:33) 38th?? (I'm not in the results - faulty chip?)
I wasn't sure about my fitness for this race, but I thought I should be very close to last year's time (1:10:26) + or - 30sec. I ended up really struggling out there and tanking. I'm not sure what happened. I really think the heat may have affected me a little bit. I'm notoriously the biggest wimp I know in hot weather, I love running in the cold. My breathing and legs felt fine, I just kept running slower. I've noticed that trend with me in warmer weather. I also dumped a lot of water on my head which is a sure sign that I was over-heated. It wasn't that hot out, but that's really the only thing I can think of. I'll let my miles tell the story:
1mi - 5:14 - felt very relaxed, no stress, breathing good
2mi - 5:18 - still relaxed, enjoying myself
3mi - 5:33 - hitting the hills, purposefully running very easy. Others around me breathing heavier
4mi - 5:39 - in the hills, again holding back, last year I was hurting bad here, running w/Dan and Al
5mi - 5:17 - I felt fine, expected that mile to be a bit faster though
6mi - 5:25 - Dan V. running away from me, I'm slowing down, not sure why
7mi - 5:14 - That's more like it, feeling hot, this is my final push to get back on pace
8mi - 5:33 - that sucked, into the wind, group went by, couldn't latch on. UH OH
9mi - 5:52 - Oh man. I'm tanking. Hold on, keep plugging away.
10mi - 5:32 - 54:38 split. That's 1min 10sec slower than last year. Slower than DH Jones, I'm always faster here then at DH Jones. I am hot. Where's the water? 2 cups on the head.
11mi - 5:45 - Scott Leslie goes flying by.
12mi - 5:44 - This hill sucks. There goes Al Bernier
13.1mi - 6:35 - finally finished, that was rough!
I had a nice cool down with the guys and enjoyed a fish sandwich and some chowder.
Total: 57miles for the week. Time to go into Vermont City Mode!

Thursday - 0mi. Lifted weights. Had a long meeting and just couldn't get motivated to get out the door for a run.
Friday - 14mi/1:34 in Pisgah w/Griffin. Awesome run. I ran out on Pisgah Ridge which was the first time in quite a while. The trail is icy in the shady spots. My lower back has been tight.
Saturday - 9mi*/55min - NHTI Sping Ahead 3mi - 15:15(5:05) 2nd place. This was not a very good race. I got dragged out too fast in the first 400m by Connor Jennings. He's fast. I was in oxygen debt and really hurting the rest of the race. My 2nd mile was painfully slow, but it was into the wind, with the only little hill on the course. I was going here looking for a nice workout, instead I got a race that really hurt way too early. Jen ran well and it was a fun time. Here are my miles (4:54, 5:17,5:02)
Sunday - 20mi*/2:05 on the Putney Rds. w/Fyffe. This was an awesome run. We were moving well the entire time. The weather was gorgeous and my legs felt great. I gained some fitness today.
Total - 73mi - I'm pleased with the long run, and the two speed days will boost my fitness. Friday was a great run also. This was a good week. I need to lift 2 times next week and take it a little easier for New Bedford.

February 27th to March 4th
Monday - 0mi - Sore and lazy today.
Tuesday - 5mi/34min around the Keene Rds after a meeting in Keene. Still sore.
Wednesday - 9mi/64min in Pisgah w/Griffin. 2" of fresh powder and snow falling down. I saw some snowshoe hare tracks and I started to follow them in the opposite direction of where it was going. Ran into a coyote that was tracking the hare. He ran when he saw Griffin and me. Lifted weights.
Thursday - 8miS.S./59min in Pisgah w/Griffin. Had a snow day today. 10" of fresh snow. First time on snowshoes all winter. Lifted weights and shovelled.
Friday - 0mi. Went for a hike with Glenn, Jimmy, and Griffin. Played in the staff vs student basketball game.
Saturday - 9mi/58min in Caumsett Park, Long Island, NY. Drove down for the 25/50K. Ran 3 laps with Fyffe, and Najem. Boj, Ferenc, and George ran 1 lap with us while Jen ran a lap. Beautiful sunny weather. Back stiff from long drive and shovelling. Saw 29 hawks on the drive down. (2 Cooper's/27 Red Tails)
Sunday - 20mi*/2:10 - Caumsett 25K - 1:28:48(5:43) 4th place. Here are my 5K laps (17:30, 17:21, 17:38, 17:56, 18:21) I felt pretty good and enjoyed the course, but I definitely faded on the last lap. I thought it would be fun to quit at 20K, but endured the last lap. I was about a minute faster last year. I'm a little behind in my fitness thanks to a weak February of training. I need to rally and get ready for New Bedford. It was a great weekend. George definitely had the race of the weekend.
Total - 52mi - I should have run more miles. Caumsett was a great workout for New Bedford in 2 weeks. Get the miles up next week.
Tuesday - 5mi/34min around the Keene Rds after a meeting in Keene. Still sore.
