New Jobsite, New (Old) Trails to Explore: Week of 8-10 to 8-16

I'm working in Voluntown this week, which means some Pachaug State Forest action!  One of my go to places which I'd not made it to for awhile.  Nice to get a chance to hit it again, as it's a wealth of possibility and unlimited trail mileage!

No scheduled races.  Other than that race in RI this weekend that I got laughed at by my family for wanting to attempt...not happy about that, but I'll turn it around with something fun on the weekend :)

Monday - 3.3 - Pachaug Trails & Forest Roads.  Post work session, nice to get some trails in so close to work!  Should be a fun week!!!

Tuesday - 2.5 - Copp Property, Groton.  On the way to pick up the dog from daycare and hadn't run these trails in a long time.  I remembered them as unspectacular, but I was wrong!  Once I turned off the wide gravel path onto singletrack, it got really fun.  Cool climbs past the restricted area, some short rope-assisted climbs, and lots of twisty trails to explore.  Most of them are blazed yellow, so I got sort of lost, but not really.  And it was raining!  Love running in the rain :)

Wed-Fri - 0

Saturday - 4 - Barefoot Beach Run.  Too hot for the "Taylor 10," so I opted for a progression 4-miler, starting at a 9+ pace, and finishing sub-7.  Felt good!

Sunday - 4.3 - Green Falls run w/Jim.  Hot, muggy and buggy, and we checked out some unmarked trails (they weren't), and cruised around the pond and over through the Dinosaur Caves section.  I was up for more miles, but Jim was tapped out.  Sorry, dude!
