Hiking 1:30:00 [3] 6.0 mi (15:00 / mi) +600m 11:27 / mi
shoes: Mizuno Ascend
We actually got a couple hours off this afternoon, so I searched out a miserable excuse for a map and herded 10 of the 16 people at the retreat off to Grafton Notch State Park for a hike! We got there with about 2 hours to hike and split into a hiking group and strolling group. Nichole, Wolfram, and I made an effort to get to the summit of the west peak of Baldface Mountain, but didn't quite make it to the top before we ran out of time and had to turn around. It was still an awesome hike full of lots and lots of toads!
Running 8:00 [3] 1.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: Mizuno Ascend
We were getting worryingly close to our meeting-at-the-trail-head time, so we decided to run the last bit in. I was a bit worried, but my shin didn't hurt!!!! WOOHOO!!! If everything feels good for the next couple of days, maybe I will be able to run one of the middles at the Western Mass meet this weekend :-). I think I'll try to switch down to Brown, though. It seems more like the correct length for my current level of recoveredness.
Stretching 3:00 [3]
Lots of calf stretching, but not much else. I wonder if I got too much icky pool water in my mouth. The chlorine was more or less non-existent, and my stomach doesn't feel so good today.
