Training Log Archive: cmorse

Had all the gear on to head out the door at 6 am to sneak another run in, but then Ellen informed me that the water heater died last night. No hot water = no post run shower, so changed up and headed to the basement to diagnose and repair. Then wait for HD to open so I could go out and get parts. Heater is 32 years old and they tell me to expect 10-15 years from the typical water heater and older than that i should seriously consider replacing the thing. But $15 for a new thermostat certainly trumps $1000 to get a whole new one. No visible corrosion on the tank, so hopefully I'm good for a while.

Taking Anna back to Maine tonight, so unlikely I'll get out today.

Brief walk with Anna on a showery day.

4x200m on the return leg (pace count, not measured), 1 min recovery

Finally put my route from Sunday into RouteGadget. Comparing my route to those faster than me, it looks like a big part of my slower time was that I elected to take straighter, cross country routes on 3 legs.

#2 - definitely cost me a lot of time versus the road route, I don't recall the route being particularly slow or having issues, but road would have definitely been faster.

#5 - going straight in the first part of the leg definitely cost me some time - piney woods generally uphill slowed the pace...

#6 - climbing in woods versus on trail.

Rest of course I was proportionally slower, mostly due to lack of fitness.

Quick jaunt out past lake & back. To keep Phil happy.. :-)

Morning walk to lake & back with Ellen.

Short walk on Rockville Spur with Anna before heading to Willimantic to pick up Jackson. Didn't turn off GPS, has some highway data on end...
