May 23, 2013

Sunday ran 12 with Al Litwin. Giant's Neck through Old Black Point, Black Point, Attawan Beach, Oak Grove Beach, McCook' s, Hole in the Wall Beach, downtown Niantic and across the Niantic River Bridge. Then back to Al' s house. Typical Al, maintaining negative splits. Always keeps me honest... no slowing down allowed. Monday 4.5 early afternoon tempo usual Meech Avenue, Eastern Point Beach, Avery Point, Tyler Avenue, Meech hill, Eastern Point Road. Spotted Mike Boumenot walking back to office from Building 100, stopped to walk and chat, get caught up. Good thing... Legs were getting sore. Getting older is tough... Took Tuesday and Wednesday off to recover. Thursday climbed and descended Raunig' s ladder on a fitness center dreadmill with 200 meter intervals at 3% grade from a 9 minute mile to 5:30 mile and back pace. Invigorated. Looking forward to Saturday's Delaney Dash in Saybrook Point, which will be my first official road race in the 60+ bracket. Then off to my niece Meg' s wedding at Pequot Chapel in New London in the afternoon.
