Sawnee Mtn trail ... Spot Rd. entrance to Tribble Gap to summit & back ... 4 miles 9:50 pace ... which is medium effort on this trail ... goal is to get it under 9.  In 2009 I did a 5k race on this trail & 31:19 came in 20th place, winning time was 25:48!

Anyway, I live only about a mile from there now, so I am making it my official training grounds.  I will try not to let 24 days elapse before my next training run this time ... and hopefully the 7 straight days of rain we have had will soon pass!

Week 18 - Day 1   6 miles easy

First 3 were a little brisker to get out of hood onto busier roads & then back before dark, then 3 easier loops around hills of the hood.

7:35, 7:57, 7:55, 8:37, 9:01, 8:37

Felt good, am convinced I am going to crush Boston, decided on sub 3:15 goal

Day 3 -

AM - 4 easy hilly hood miles @ 8:50 AP

Weight 146 - Considering I basically took the last 8 months off from running & at my peak my race weight was 148, this is good ... although it means I need to add muscle and hopefully target my race weight down to 145 or lower.  Let the Games begin.

Day 7 -

8 comfortable miles in rain along Susquehanna river @ 7:55 AP

8.11, 8.13, 8.06, 7.51, 7.54, 7.51, 7.35, 7.40

Week 1 Summary:  31 miles (more than I have run in a month since April).  Reintroduce legs to mileage.  Consistency (took 2 days off due to travel & icy paths, but other than that good).  I will call it a successful week of getting back on track ... 17 weeks to improve ... one day at a time.
