    alright Montague Plains trail run 6.59 mi 01:04 09:42 pace

    I was in danger of running out of daylight and had no reflective gear or headlamp with me so I decided to head into the woods.
    The run wasn't as easy as the low heart rate would indicate, because t... read more

    6 miles starting at aerobic and finishing at tempo, followed by a 2 mile climb back to the house. Cold and windy.

      Running fixes what ails you. Nice distance. I'm a little concerned too about the sugaring season. It's an important source of revenue for many sugar makers and farms here in VT.

      @Greg, sure, we've been spoiled, but sports success is a recent thing around here. If you want to talk baseball, I've got a whole bunch of bad memories, which were thankfully erased when we won 4 in a row against the Yankees in 2004. We also won in 2007, but you probably don't need to hear about that ;-)

    Very slow going on this crusty snow. Dogs had no trouble, of course. I need claws and extra legs to run in this stuff.

      @Runfasterdaddy, I'm using Pfitzinger (loosely, I've gotten in trouble trying to follow anything too closely) and relying on stuff from McMillan, Daniels, Furman that I've used over the years. Mainly hoping to be able to run consistently higher mileage than I've been able to in the past. Still a novice marathon runner, though the last year was a major improvement.
