USA MOUNTAIN CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW

Unfortunately, I will not be toeing the line this Sunday at Mt. Cranmore due to my late recovery from my fired up glute/hip flexor from the Mount Washington Road Race. However, USMRT.com posted a write-up and mentioned me as a contender at http://www.usmrt.com/mountain-running%E2%80%99s-best-headed-to-new-hampshire

Mo, 3/28/2016 7 miles easy to moderate on the Greenway with 324ft of gain in 49:03 * 7:19, 7:01, 7:06, 6:49, 6:48, 6:52, 6:36; avg. 6:56/mi (GAP- 7:19, 6:52, 6:35, 6:49, 6:43, 6:23, 6:33; avg. 6:52/mi)... leg didn't feel great to start in the rain. Very soggy ground made it more difficult, but the last 10-15 minutes were the best with it feeling fully functional and 100%. Good run, good fitness. Haven't had a run over 7:00/mi!

A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN RICHES AND MUSCLE...

Mo, 11/14/2016 7 mile regeneration down the Rail Trail in 48:31 * avg. 7:41/mi... dead. Not recovered yet. Ouch.  Tu, 11/15/2016 3 mile regeneration down Union Church Rd. in 23:11 * avg. 7:41/mi.. SuperMoon killed me. Not recovered. Absolutely no energy. Weird. We, 11/16/2016 2 mile warm-up, 2 x (1000m + 300m) in 3:12-53, 3:11-53 with 1:45/4:00 rest * avg. 76.4" / 70.6"... not bad. Wish I would've done all three as planned, but was nervous since I was all-out. Goal was 74" and 69" pace, so I missed it. Super cold (35-degrees) and just not fast enough, but great workout.  Th, 11/17/2016 AM: 12K light fartlek thru Baltimore with 40" on every 3' after 3 mi in 48:47 * avg. 6:44/mi... pleasantly surprised. Was a bit worried about my right IT-band, but last night's sleep helped out a ton. Got out there, feeling cruising and strong, but by the turn-around my left foot was landing awkwardly and tight, but I started 40" on every 3:00 after th...
