You never slow down, you never grow old

ahhh! so it was a lot colder, snowier, and busier than I expected the weekend in Vermont to be.  I just didn't get to run..... hope to make up some miles this week, but it is looking to be super busy too.... jeez!!

8.13 miles in 1:02:38 [7:42 pace]

Extended my usual loop from work over the Longfellow down the Esplanade and instead of heading over the Mass Ave bridge and back, I kept going down to the Western Ave. bridge.  It wasn't too cold out but the wind was blowing so hard it was like training in a wind tunnel the whole time in my face...

4.87 nice hilly miles in 39:11 [8:02 pace]

lots of long gradual hills with not much downhill.... one big nasty almost 1/2 mile hill right before 1.5 miles... tough, but I like to think I kicked it's butt!

20.0 miles in 2:52:20 [8:37 pace]

Not one of my better long runs, my body wasn't feeling this one.  Did the entire Ashuwillticook Rail Trail round trip with a little pain in my IT bands, aching hip flexors, and annoying left knee pain...but I kept going and only walked briefly twice to get some water and relax.  Ah better next week I hope!
