MCT - Friday, June 2, 2017 at 20:32:14 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Did 8 miles this morning at a 11:54 pace. Yesterday found a state park near my hotel in Middleboro MA. Lots of nice trails so I did 8 miles there. Sunday I'm doing the Goodwin Forest 10k. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1773336806 lrb - Saturday, June 3, 2017 at 03:59:08 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1774585949 Results : http://iresultslive.com/?op=overall&subop=&racename=5K&eid=2329&place=0&tab= First (and only) in 70-79 division in New Milford Moonlight 5k. 28:43. Out and back fairly flat. MCT - Saturday, June 3, 2017 at 14:28:43 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Ran the Go Fast Go Far 5Kish in Durham this morning. Finish time was 26:31. I say 5kish because it was 3.09 and apparently the RD agrees it was not a true 5K. Fun race around the Durham Fair grounds. Also did 5 miles earlier this morning at home. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1775486356 lrb - Saturday, June 3, 2017 at 21:57:05 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Ran 2 5ks today, 9 AM in Chaplin, 1 PM in Harwinton. towns 103 and 104.

Saw Joe there before the race but he was out on the 30K course. I also did 5 miles early this morning. 58 miles for the week. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1777976892 ceb - Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 01:41:41 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Been feeling a little under the weather in the last 4 days. It seems to be some intestinal flu thing. Don't have much of an appetite. I ran 3 tonight for the first time since last Monday. Having oatmeal for dinner. Exciting! Didn't achive my 18 mile plan last week. Did 6 instead.
Finished hanging 23 pieces of art work in the NH gallery today. Looks good. Came home and took a long nap. If the flu thing doesn't improve in the next day or two I may get it checked out. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1780820329 lrb - Thursday, June 8, 2017 at 19:18:07 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) http://plattsys.com/m1shell.php?eventid=1597 Ran Solstice Sprint 5k last nite. 2nd in 70s. Bob Ward way ahead. I took 29 minutes. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1785713674 Linda took pix. Posted some on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.1963104127253808&type=1 Linda and I are heading to Portsmouth, NH on Friday for Saturday 10k. Brent is running it too. MCT - Friday, June 9, 2017 at 11:12:47 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Did a loop around the Lake Garda school. 7 miles and with the big hill. This is day #850 in the streak. This week we officially put our home up for sale and have a deposit in Canton on a condo. I will live right on the Rails to Trails. I can run, walk, ride a bike anytime(once I'm retired). If you ever ran the Lobster Loop 5K in Canton I and 1/10th of a mile from the start line. Therefore I'm moving but still a Connecticut runner. I'm running the Nipmuck South Trail race this Sunday. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1786623161 tlz - Sunday, June 11, 2017 at 01:49:56 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) I ran twice on the ship - 4.5 miles and 5 miles. 2.91 times around the deck was equal to 1 mile. The second time I ran was on our way back to NJ. The wind was blowing like crazy and it was raining pretty hard at times. There were a couple of other brave souls out there so I decided to run as well. Shared a couple of laps with an 11th grade girl who does cross-country. So for this week so far I ran: Wed. - 5 miles on the ship Thurs. - 6 miles back home Fri. - 6 miles Sat. - 6 miles All were between 9:45 and 10:00 min. pace. Thankfully, my ankle is feeling better. Nice job, Lee and Brent, on the 10K! Mike, good luck on your trail race tomorrow! ceb - Sunday, June 11, 2017 at 15:48:29 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) 3 miles at 10:00/mile pace Thursday on the Groton Farm loop run. warm and sunny. Took it slow and easy. Day 1 with no coffee https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1791299008 On Friday, I did 3 miles at 9:26/mile. Took the Groton Farm loop. Nice weather. Day 2. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1791299690 Ran 5.9 miles Saturday at 11:25 pace (several stops) with Concord Runners. Took the Estabrook Woods trail(s) route. The pace was actually a lot faster in the last few miles and pretty much wiped me out for the rest of the day. So, I am taking today (Sunday) off for rest. Skipped coffee at work Saturday - which seemd to make the day drag even more! https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1791300293 Rest day today. Enjoying my coffee today. Some things one just cannot live without. Fine with me! Nice pic of you and Brent, Lee. Sounds like you had a good day in NH. Weekly summary for last week: 14.90 miles lrb - Sunday, June 11, 2017 at 18:13:48 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1791721810 Saturday's 10k in Portmouth, NH. Tray, it would be interesting to see your Garmin for your runs on the boat. I'm imagining a corkscrew like path due to the combination of your looping and the boat's forward motion. tlz - Monday, June 12, 2017 at 00:19:18 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) 7 miles this afternoon - HOT! 10 min. pace nearly killed me. 30 miles for the week, which is a lot for me these days. LOL Lee, the Garmin was wigging out on the boat. I only kept it going for the time. I had to calculate mileage by laps because it was computing a mile after only 1 lap! MCT - Tuesday, June 13, 2017 at 10:46:19 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Did 8 miles this morning at a 11:57 pace. Hot! Sunday at Nipmuck I finished in 3:20 and it was awful. I drank mor than 48 oz during the race and hydrated a lot before the race and never had to pee. Lee..I would have assumed the same corkscrew pattern with boat running but it must depend on the speed of the boat relative to pace plus all the electronic navigation gear must have messed with the GPS. Tracy it was good you got out there while cruising. Must have been tough running past bars, pools, refreshment stands!!

Hot is right. tlz - Wednesday, June 14, 2017 at 11:54:00 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) I ran 6 miles on Tues. around 6:30 pm. Still hot but sun not as intense. Mike, the first time I ran on the cruise was 4:30 pm ish and I was mostly annoyed with people in the way, as the running deck has all the chairs on it and people were leaving to get ready for dinner. The second time I ran was 7 am ish and it was raining pretty hard with lots of wind so only a couple of other stragglers out on the deck. Your race sounded brutal! ceb - Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 01:18:55 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) 6 miles on the Ayer to Nashua bike trail. 3 out and 3 back. Paved through the woods. Been really slackin' with running and had to get out there today. Finlly got a good workout in. Pace 10:03/ mile. Flat and straight. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1797959565 lrb - Friday, June 16, 2017 at 16:08:38 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1800791735 6.72 @ 16:15 - home to Highcrest, around to Coppermill and back to Highcrest. Linda met me at the school and we walked the loop (another 2.1 miles at 21:17 pace). Am racing in Winsted tomorrow (Julie Ann Aresco's 169th town). Will be heading to Watkins Glen, NY after the race and will return on Thursday. MCT - Saturday, June 17, 2017 at 13:30:59 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Did 11 miles on the Farmington River Trail before heading to Boston. I was supposed to run Winsted for Julie's 169th but my company assigned me to a Boston scientific meeting this weekend. 9 weeks until the Anchor Down Ultra and my 2nd attempt at 24 hours. Better get training! https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1802300919 tlz - Saturday, June 17, 2017 at 22:24:35 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Ran 11 miles today - 9:55 pace. Only my second run this week. Been stressed with work and school. Mike, I didn't know you were doing Anchor Down again. Do you want a pacer? ;) lrb - Sunday, June 18, 2017 at 13:50:31 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Ran the 5k in Winsted on Saturday (sorry you couldn't make it Mike). Huge 169 presence. The three loop course was a tad short so my 27 flat time was misleading. Pretty moving moment when Julie crossed the finish line. Just got back from a slow 4.5 run here in Watkins Glen (2 miles on a trail, 2.5 back on the road). Spotted this guy
tlz - Monday, June 19, 2017 at 10:35:27 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Forgot to log for Sunday and I even had a title for it..."I Puked and I Ran" Ran with Vanessa from Lasalle Market parking lot in Collinsville. Planned on doing 14 but it was so incredibly humid - the dew point must have been off the charts. Didn't feel that great from the beginning of the run and decided to turn back after 6 miles. Then at around 8.5 miles, I got really nauseous and threw up on the side of the trail. I have always said that I never threw up while running or during a race and I can't imagine continuing to run afterwards. Well, I proved myself wrong yesterday - it is indeed possible to puke and run, though I don't recommend it b/c it doesn't feel so good. LOL We ended with 12 miles at an 11:05 pace due to slowing down and walking at times. Aye yai yai. Have no idea why I got sick and was fine the rest of the day. Hoping that never happens again! 29 miles for the week for 3 days of running. MCT - Monday, June 19, 2017 at 11:23:54 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Tracy..Our new condo is about 1.5 miles north of Lasalle's on the trail. It's a beautiful thing! Today I went back over to Cambridge along the Charles river in Boston. This is a great running area with a hard packed gravel path on the river near MIT. Did 7 miles at a 11:58 pace. Tracy-about pacers at Anchor down. They are strict with only one allowed after 12 hours into the race and they must wear a band to be identified as a pacer. They cannot touch or go near the aid stations and cannot carry anything for the runner. The one quirky thing is that they are allowed to hold an umbrella over the runners head in the sunlight. Very strange and it has been done! https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1806389190 lrb - Monday, June 19, 2017 at 23:41:15 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) My watch died early on but I probably did 5 miles on what I call the Cass Rd / Joley Rd loop. Very steep hill involved which I mostly walked. Very soggy out here. Those pacer rules are strict! ceb - Tuesday, June 20, 2017 at 10:30:02 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) 6 miles Monday evening on the Groton Farm loop (two circuits). Blue-Violet Lupin were replaced with a ton of yellow daisy-like flowers. No pic. Maybe next time. Pace was 9:40/mile. Weather: Muggy. Summary for last week: 6 miles :( https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1808216753 lrb - Tuesday, June 20, 2017 at 14:12:14 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) http://www.mapmyrun.com/workout/2275020563 7.34 @ 15:43 Collier Memorial loop in Watkins Glen.
tlz - Friday, June 23, 2017 at 00:28:18 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Forgot to log my run for Wed. - 9 miles/9:40 pace. Nothing on Thurs. and Fri. is looking grim as well. :( Mike, I did actually read the pacer rules. I think it's nice that the priority is for the race participant who paid the race fee! The umbrella thing is weird though. I can't imagine running and doing that. lrb - Friday, June 23, 2017 at 01:23:35 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Did not run today. Ran about 7 yesterday: to Hector Falls and back. Surprise 70th party for Linda at Mary Almy's tomorrow night. Chip's opening at artistic roots tonight. Home from Watkins Glen. MCT - Saturday, June 24, 2017 at 14:46:37 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) 16 miles today of roads and trails. The CT Trailmixers were running in Sessions Woods so I timed my run so I could join. Hot, humid, rainy. Horse flies were out of control. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1815812587
tlz - Monday, June 26, 2017 at 01:59:20 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) 10 miles on Sat. with Joe - 10:10 pace. 9 miles today solo - 10:00 pace. Looks like my new routine is running 3 days a week. Total mileage was 28. Had a foot consult on Fri. for the bunion and ugly bone/huge knuckle on my big toe. Dr. recommends surgery so will probably do that in Oct. Then I suppose I'll be looking at a 3 month hiatus from running. Not sure how that's going to be. lrb - Monday, June 26, 2017 at 10:08:55 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) 5+ @ ~19 (i.e. I mostly walked) Linda and I came up with a name for this route: Scottish Riteless because it was from my house to the beginning of the 5k race, skip the 5k loop entirely, back home. Good move Tray. It'll be difficult to not run but you'll be better when you're back. I've been there. ceb - Monday, June 26, 2017 at 19:01:14 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Another slacker week BUT improving slightly with a life-shattering commitment to run in the AM today! Got out there today and braved the aches and pains of moving at THAT hour and discovered it was not so bad after all. Loved it actually. No pain, no gain :) Ok, so here is my summary since my last entry: Monday, 6/19 (last week and previosly logged here) 6.0 miles at 9:40 pace Tuesday, 6/20 - 0.00 Wednesday, 6/21 - 0.00 Thursday, 622 - 0.00 Friday, 6/23 - 0.00 Saturday, 6/24 - Skipped Concord run but ran 2.5 miles at 11:55 pace at home later Sunday, 6/25 - 3.04 miles at 9:58 pace on Groton Farm Loop (one loop) Summary for last week: 11.59 miles Wild flowers (mentioned in last post) visible below on the Groton Farm loop run (image taken during Saturday's run at top of loop at 1 mile mark)

Keep me posted on any dates/times. ceb - Friday, June 30, 2017 at 19:20:39 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Yesterday I went to Barre, MA to walk on a path that is used by meditators there at the Barre Insight Meditation Society I walked (not meditating) 4.4 miles on a very peaceful, forest-lined country road with surounding farms, wildlife, and old homes some of which looked as if they had been there forever. Old rusted farm equipment, a barking dog and a tiny chipmunk on the top center of a huge boulder were among the many sights. I missed a turn (I was following a map) onto Lover's Lane (appropriately named) which made the walk a little longer than 3 miles. Here is the map of the walk The walking pace was 21:53 / mile. Ran 7.0 miles today in 1:04:23, 9:12/mile pace.
