A week in review 10/17 - 10/23

I've decided the repetitious blog entries of similar local runs are not that glamorous to read.  So with the exception of bad-ass runs and races I'm going to follow the weekly review that other bloggers and some TM's do (thanks for the inspiration). 

Tuesday 18th - Stroudwater.  4 miles, 33:23.  Nice easy run out and back in comfortable weather.

Thursday 20th - Scarborough residential.  6.5 miles, 51:54.  Road run on mostly dirt and grass on the shoulder.  Thick, misty conditions in slight rain.  Kind of a pain running along busy roads, but wanted to just get out and run without a drive.  Went for short walk with Alison and Francesca in the afternoon.

Friday 21st - Wolfe's Neck.  Short walk with Alison and Francesca with a great lunch and chill along the ocean.  I will probably hit a run here next time I'm in the area.  I've been to WN a bunch of time's but never run the trails.

Saturday 22nd - Bradbury West.  13ish miles, 2:10:00.  Hit the South Ridge to Summit - Tote Rd - Summit - Ski - North. Met up with Val and hit the connector trail to the power lines then finished on the Tote Road. Great run Achilles a bit sore still but fun run with a tougher beginning to warm my ass up.  Real fun to chat with Val and catch-up, and great to see a bunch of TM's coming and going at the parking lot.

Sunday 23rd - Stroudwater.  4 miles, 31:33.  Nice run with perfect weather.

Efficiency:  I've been doing a lot of massage and work on the lower legs with specific light stretching to alleviate lingering Achilles soreness.  Some random rock jumps (like box jumps) and heel walking to help with strengthening.

Distance:  27.5 miles total this week.  Nice and mellow as I begin to ramp back up.
