Holy Hell it got cold...and there's a potential blizzard for the coming weekend??? We'll see how this week plays out, with high wind warnings, cold temps, and the threat of a big snow event on the horizon...
Monday - 0 - Cold work day. Still can't do the 'mill.
Tuesday - 0. - Cold work day #2.
Wednesday - 4-ish Miles. Cockaponsett Commuter Run, Haddam. I ran this a couple of years ago with fellow WTAC'ers Eric and Yvonne, but never realized how close the trailhead is to the commuter lot, right off route 9! I scoped it out, and after work, got off the exit and was on the trail within a couple minutes! A good hilly and twisty run on very old singletrack. The majority of these trails were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 as part of FDR's "New Deal" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps and are superbly built. Can't say enough good things about them. I knew where I was initially going, but underestimated the time it took to get to the Wildwood crossover trail. Good run, I'm looking forward to more exploring there!
Thursday - 0.
Friday - 2 Miles. Dog Jog. Got home from work and changed up for a run with Henry, who hadn't gone to day care and hadn't done much of anything. Needless to say, he took the lead and increased the pace throughout the run, and had one of his fastest miles ever! Good dog.
Saturday - 8.75 Miles, Treadmill. So the Chili 5k was cancelled, and by the time I got my shit together at the house, the snow was coming down pretty heavy, sooo...time to dust off the treadmill and get some miles. 8.75, to be exact. The Garmin was shorting me, so I kept going until it hit 8. Still not a fan of the damn thing, but it may be a necessary component of training, so I threw on the headphones, blasted Bullet For My Valentine, and got 'er done.
Sunday - ???
