Went over to the Rivah today. Ran from the Wyndham Hotel parking lot and did the Merrimack River Trail. The trail is in great shape......not a single wet or muddy spot out there. The Merrimack Trail Race in a couple weeks could be a fast one if conditions stay the same. Felt good out there today and it was nice to get back on the river trails.
4/3 Tuesday: OFF
A day off to rest up and recover. I was feeling a little run down and tired, so I figured a day off wouldn't hurt.
4/4 Wednesday: 11.2 miles in 81 minutes
Solid run today, my legs felt good and I had good energy. Ran along the Shawsheen River Trails over to The Bay Circuit Trail. I ran the Bay Circuit Trail over to and across Rt. 133. This is a section I have never been on before and it was pretty nice trail. I had to turn back soon after getting on this section, I will have to explore this area more when I have more time.
4/5 Thursday: AM: 5 miles in 40 minutes PM: 8.5 miles in 64 minutes
AM: Easy treadmill running at home.
PM: Shawsheen River Trails to the fields behind Andover High School.
4/6 Friday: 7.3 miles in 58 minutes
Easy treadmill running at home.
4/7 Saturday: 9 miles in 63 minutes
Today I went to the SEA 5k in Concord, NH. Warmed up 3 miles with Heather, then raced 5k in 16:03 (splits: 4:59, 5:15, 5:15, 34), good for first place. Then cooled down another 3 miles with Mike Quintal. The wind was pretty strong and made the flat, fast course a bit slower today. Overall I was very happy with this race. I felt very strong and smooth, and I felt like I could have gone even harder if I needed to. This was a good confidence booster!
4/8 Sunday: 18 miles in 2 hours 13 minutes
I did the first 16 miles with Heather. We had a solid run and hit Providence Hill on a decent loop. I then added on another two miles to get up to 18. Overall it was a solid run and I finished up the last two miles pretty strong.
Total Miles: 67
Overall it was a decent week. I got in a good race and a solid long run, I even got in a day off. The running is going well. A few more weeks of this and I will be ready for Pittsburgh!
