One more cool, dry, clear early morning. Temperature around 40 degrees. A mild breeze wasn’t really anything to notice.

Felt OK today. Good work on the road. Didn’t feel to strained or forced. Stay on it and relax.

Today’s run was a 12.5 mile rolling hills route. Pace was 9:52 or so. Weight was 145.2.

Time for some serious climbing work. There’s a service road at Blue Hills in the Boston area that’s 0.87 miles long and about 415 feet of climb. Some sections are like walls, e.g., the 17% grade below. Ran it (barely) at about an 11:05 pace.

One more cool, dry early morning. Temperature around 42 degrees. I’ll pay for it later — it’ll probably be 75 and 110% humidity next week.

Not feeling too bad. Daily work isn’t stressing anything too much.

Nice, cool morning for a run. With the Sun coming up earlier, it’s getting lighter out early enough to see all the potholes. Really appreciate that. I wouldn’t mind avoiding twisted ankles, knees, etc.

Today’s run was a 12.5 mile rolling hills route. Pace was 9:38. Weight was 144.4.

A somewhat tired early morning run. Cool, humid, somewhat damp, and a cold breeze at times. Whatever. Head down and go.

Today’s run was a 12.5 mile rolling hills route. Pace was 9:48. Weight was 144.4.

Mild, humid, cloudy morning for a run. Still all kinds of pollen in the air. We’re to get some rain today, so it’ll be interesting tomorrow morning to see if there’s any noticeable difference.

Didn’t feel too bad at all today. A bit tired at the start, but I usually start slow. Three weeks or so to the Lake Placid race.

A cold, clear morning. Temperature around 31 when I left and 28 when I got back. I’ll take it, but it is odd for mid-May.

A dusty, pollen-filled early morning. There hasn’t been any rain in quite a while, so there’s all kinds of junk in the air. I briefly thought about wearing a mask.
