Running Update
Sunday: 2 miles on treadmill from LA Fitness (had traveled back from Florida earlier in the day and was beat from all the travel)
Monday AM: 3.6 miles looping around my development (thrilled to be running in a brisk 57 degree temperature after spending a few days in Florida)
Monday PM: 4 miles going back and forth twice on the wood chip trail at WildWood Lake (boring, shaded but lots of gnats)
First double workout I’ve had in a long time
Tuesday AM: 2.2 miles looping around the development
Wednesday PM: 10 miles with Jon and James running a slight variant of our normal Wednesday (or Tenesday)
Thursday PM: 6 miles going back and forth three times on the wood chip trail at WildWood Lake (boring, shaded, almost an obscene amount of gnats, at times it was ridiculous)
Friday: off from running
Saturday: met up with Jon at the Colebrook trailhead of the Lebanon Rail Trail and did 20 miles ( 7 miles out and back, took a short break to refuel/etc and then went 3 miles out and back). The trail has a lot of shade which made the run bearable given the temperature. Legs generally felt good during the run although my feet were sore towards the end. After the run we met a guy in the parking lot who pulled up next to us and was getting ready for a bike ride. He seemed nice at first but then he quickly started giving a “problems with America” diatribe, so we excused ourselves as quickly as we could and headed for some food.
7 day total: 435 minutes and 47.8 miles, the highest I’ve had in quite a while. I’ve also been doing a bunch of exercises for leg strength and stability.

Wow, impressive week.
I find it amusing that you logged the nut you met in the parking lot. :)

Yeah… So, what are the problems with America these days?
Almost 50 miles this week. Nice work.
