Easy 7 miles while Matt and Brian did 8.
I've got to taper for the marathon...
a petite taper run. Basically long enough to start to warm up then you quit. Not sure what that's about but that's what the training plan called for. Hopefully Hal knows what he's doing.
4 days, oh Boy!
If you've just successfully survived preparing for a marathon on a scheduled program, I don't think you need to worry about the taper. Just enjoy it and contemplate what's coming.
Hope you are enjoying all your favorite things today.
good running
with Karen, Ginger, Amy, Britt, & Julie. Got to see Frank, Vanessa, & Roland post-run. Beautiful morning. Life is good in the woods.
You all have trained hard all season. Time to let it fly. Good luck at the Coastal XC Middle School Championships!
warmed up 2 miles, then some strides. After that I could tell my legs just weren't ready to do the planned workout so I went home and will try again another time. Just have to listen to your body sometimes.
Pigfarm road, felt like doing more, but will ease back in slowly.
5k jogged this weekend's meet's course with the XC team. 5k by myself - through the waterfowl park and out to the train station.
My official time at the last meet was 20:05 (5k). Just got that today.
I plan to have CeCelia be ahead of me every few miles on Sunday.....if you see a black Jetta with the plate CELIA M that is her....don't hesitate to ask her to transport anything you may want to discard, or have her hold gels, etc until you need them. She's really good at this role!
The weather forcast isn't looking bad. Partly cloudy and right around 50 for a high. Should be OK in shorts and a long sleeve top as long as it's not to windy. I have a biking vest (annoyingly hi-viz green) I might be sporting if it is windy and may need to ditch with the option to recover. I'm going to lean on Super Frank as my priimary support god but it's nice to have a back-up.
you don't need her to carry stuff, she will still cheer REALLY LOUD for you!!!!!!!
Great performances all around this afternoon at the Middle School Coastal Championships at the Airline School in Aurora.
Placing 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 10th, & 15th, the Emerson girls were solid for the win over Ellsworth. Mount Desert Elementary boys had a convincing performance also, taking second behind Ellsworth.
Lots of work and dedication paid off for these runners this fall. I'm proud of every one of them.
Autumn and I went up to the meet and it was pretty awesome watching runners from the island do so well. The Mount Desert boys finished 2nd oveall and runners from the whole island finished high up all the way around. The emerson Girls dominated and the rivalry between Maggie and the Ellsworth Girl continues.
I got in 3 easy miles up at the meet and then when I got back to Bar Harbor with the moonlight ran 6 miles up Cadillac Mnt at a steady effort. Just over 41 minutes with Brian to pick me up at the top for a ride down. Awesome night to run up the Mnt.
Back Cove loop x 2 plus a bit more to round out the 7.5, in Portland earlier today. It's hard work just to fight for time to run this week.
Shannon and I had 30 minutes before First Strides tonight, so we ran the flat 4 down the east side of EL and back. It was a very nice run, though I'm amazed she was still conscious after her western adventure. Then after gathering and walking a bit with the crew, I got enjoy a second great run on the same route with Julie. We started out smooth, then ran the last three miles as a progressive, ending with quite a quick pace for the last half mile or so.
The four with Mark as mentioned above, and then three additional great miles with Amanda. There is no better season to run in Maine. It was so nice out!
