11.39 km explore
ok - yeah it's been a week - i hope you don't think i took the whole week off - just about - I might not have had the strength to get back on track if i hadn't noticed the Pudge gloating a bit - damn
Friday was sposd to be a rest day - Saturday wasn't - got too tied up in not getting my work done - no more of that foolishness - typing all fucking weekend - grrrrrr - the Pudge won that battle but the war is far from over
sunday i made it to soccer practice and rob i guess didn't feel like drilling the boys, so we pretty much scrimmaged the whole time - good run for me baby
then again didnt manage to get out for run monday or tuesday - slept in both days and The Pudge said, "that's ok run later today" - fucker - ended up too busy both times- so this morning i was up and out there
an eleven km jaunt - out the shore road - then up a woods track i found on google earth - talked to a few people but no one knew for sure if it went all the way through - the woods road is pretty much straight up hill - for comparison say - it would be very similar to running up the Beaver at Ski Wentworth (i speak from authority as lockyer and i used to race up the beaver in steel-toed boots with a bale of hay on our shoulder - those were the days :P)
the hill slowed me down but didnt stop me - it comes out at a little lake (what the newfs would call a pond) it used to be a rock quarrry i guess - after that it was pretty much all down hill to town - but still a long hard slog - felt good if a little exhausting -
so here it is wednesday of week three and i just finished week 2 - plan to run a couple five ks thursdya friday and take saturday off (if you call an 18k hike a rest ) and then sunday is either soccer or a run - only 8 km this weeek so tha's ok - and hopefully ill be back on track
the hardest thing about this i have said all along is going to be resting enough, eating enough and keeping going day in day out - so many little things could trip a fella up - the goal here is just to go the distance - go the distance, then if i make it to the vally harvest , the post marathon goal will be to keep running all winter - but right now - go the distance :P
