Week ending 12-27-09

The final full week of 2009 was a decent week for me despite a head-cold and a cough that left my ribs pretty sore.


M – Got in late from Arkansas, 8 mile loop alone - 60:18.

T – Lunch o/b 3, 20’s and breezy – 20:37, Afternoon Lily pond 8 with Dan and JJ – 60:00

W – Lunch o/b 3 – 19:54, Afternoon Lily pond 8 with Dan, JJ and Ken T – 58:42

Th – ½ day at work, 11:30 am Water Tower 10 with Woody, Dan and JJ – 75:31 (felt awful)

F – Short 10 with Dan and Mark B from Dan’s house at 6:30 AM – 75:28

Sat – Short 10 with Petey from his house 5:40 AM – 80:01

Sun – Woodford VT Warm-up marking the course 41:19. Race 4th place 24:36. Warm-down clearing the course 28:53.

Woodford was my 46th race in 2009 which ties for the 8th most races I’ve done in a year. I would have easily hit over 50 if I hadn’t missed 6 weeks with a stress fracture.
