road running 45:20 5.27 mi (8:36 / mi) +636ft 7:43 / mi
ahr:143 max:168 weight:135.5lbs shoes: pegasus #2
Over to and up South Sugarloaf, and back. A good hard effort. Up in 9:05, best I've done in quite some time. Must be the early morning hill workouts....
Looking at the results from WMOC, wishing I was there, but it didn't work out. Maybe another year.

Note
Had my annual physical a few days. Nothing surprising, which is always good. And a blood test, from which I just got the results.
A year ago I was complaining about feeling tired and the blood test then showed that I was somewhat anemic --
Hemoglobin 12.1 (normal range is 13.0 to 17.0)
Hematocrit 37.4 (40.0-51.0)
RBC 4.10 (4.5-5.5)
Ferrtin 25 (30-400)
The ferritin (reflects body's store of iron) was low enough that the doc said he wanted me to see a GI guy to stick something down my throat, or up my rear, or both, to check that there was no bleeding. His office would set it up, he said. Well, they forgot, and I wasn't really eager, so it never happened. But I started taking my multi-vitamin/mineral regularly, plus an iron supplement. And after a while I seemed to be less tired.
I was quite curious about this year's numbers. And they were certainly better --
Hemoglobin 13.4
Hematocrit 40.5
RBC 4.38
Ferritin 46
The doc seemed satisfied. And I will keep taking the extra iron.

biking 1:27:56 23.29 mi (3:47 / mi) +1155ft 3:36 / mi
ahr:122 max:147 rhr:50 weight:135.5lbs
Nice morning ride to Whately and Conway, though the bridge on the Whately-Haydenville road is closed for repairs and there is a bit of a dirt road detour (short-cut in this case). Legs felt OK.

biking 1:13:35 20.33 mi (3:37 / mi) +449ft 3:33 / mi
ahr:123 max:149 rhr:50 weight:135.5lbs
A little longer on the bike, the usual loop. Quite windy from the west. Legs didn't feel so bad.
Will have to put I a lot more mileage if I want to do any long rides this summer. Harder to do if I also am running a reasonable amount. Not sure what my priorities will be.

run/hike 31:24 2.23 mi (14:05 / mi) +1152ft 9:27 / mi
ahr:146 max:163 shoes: pegasus #2
Run/hike up Mount Major (on the southwest side of Lake Winnipesaukee), suggested by Peter Goodwin, and it was a fine outing, except the trail was just a little too steep for me to run all of it. But very nice views from the top.
trail running 22:04 2.22 mi (9:56 / mi) +46ft 9:45 / mi
ahr:140 max:154 shoes: pegasus #2
And then a much easier run down.
All this sandwiched between two rounds of golf, didn't get home until quite late, but it was a fine day.

Very entertaining Fresh Air interview from 3 weeks ago with Keith Olbermann.

Note
Yesterday's course (Red course, M45).
And here is my route. A lot of small misses, worst of which was at 6. Just wasn't reading the terrain quite right. But still a good run. And would have won if we did the sensible thing in O' and that is to give out "Senior discounts" (not 10% off your entry fee but 10% off your time). Wouldn't that be nice.
Stopped for dinner on the way home at the 84 Diner, a spot of some notoriety in O' circles maybe 30 years ago. Wonder if anyone who happens to read this has been there. Peggy? Actually had a decent meal, and yes, the waitress did call me Honey. :-)
