I’m doing another catch-up post because I’m behind, but I split this out because my memories were vivid and it was getting long. I’m also going to do what I’ve resorted to for my book blog<\/a>, and date the posts to publish in the past when they happened, rather than when I got around to writing them. (This was written and posted on October 8th, so only about a month behind—book posts have had much greater discrepancies!)<\/p>\n

Week 9<\/strong> (9\/11 – 17, Tue-Mon): total ~32 (5.4\/7.4\/4.1\/15.65)
\nAvg resting HR: 60
\nWeight: 116
\nCityStrides coverage of Northampton<\/a>: mid-fifties?
\nLong run: 15.65 miles; avg HR 157; time 3:37; average pace 13:51<\/p>\n

It was our 35th anniversary(!) that week and we took a wonderful weekend trip to Burlington, Vermont. So the second short run was along the beautiful waterfront bike path (on Sunday I rode my bike all the way along the causeway into Lake Champlain, which is amazing and not to be missed.)<\/p>\n

There’s always at least one terrible run in training, but I think this was my second or third this time around. I was supposed to do 16 but cut it short, which is super-unusual for me.<\/p>\n
