Back to training. The left quad area is still not better but it’s past time for active recovery rather than just “rest.” Can’t stand not having the daily grind.

Today’s run was a 8.05 mile rolling hills route. Pace was 9:39.

Time to give the leg a try again. It’s a tricky balance to both keep working and also get something to heal. I did it with a twisted ankle earlier this year.

Today’s run was a 12.5 mile rolling hills route. Pace was 9:32. Weight was 149.2.

After a few days to let some things get a bit better, it’s back to training. There are a few 5K + half marathon races left for the year, but the Chevron Houston Marathon is in mid-January. No time to slack off. Rainy and in the 50’s — who cares.

Today’s run was a 5.1 mile hills route. Pace was 9:21. Weight was 149.2.

Another half marathon race this morning. The route is through the Hamilton and Ipswich back-roads and is picturesque. Classic New England Fall.

Temperature was about 40 (maybe in the high 30’s) at the start and not a cloud in the sky. Some wind though. Once the Sun climbed up higher in the sky the wind wasn’t so cold.

Ran a PR of 1:52:11. I didn’t think I was pushing that hard. Weird. I didn’t even take a Camelbak and instead stopped at a few water stations.

Today’s run was a 13.1 mile mostly flat route. Gentle rises and a few short climbs, but flat otherwise. Pace was a PR of 8:34. Weight was 147.2.
