Weekly Summary – 42 Miles in 5 days of running. Off season/active rest this week. I timed this period so that I’d have my time off while I was back in Boston and would be able to spend most of my time seeing friends and family and not have to worry about training. A really terrific week, though pretty boring on the running front. The build-up will really start next week once I’m back and settled down in Quito.

Ty y Mr. C

It was great to be home and see friends and family! I even got in a run with my father – super nice, despite the snow!

Martes, 3 Diciembre, 2013 – AM: OFF. Great productive meeting with Jon about spring training plan!

Miercoles, 4 Diciembre, 2013 – 8am: Easy run with Mariana from Tufts. Ran short loop around Lakes. Nice route. Not too cold. Good company. Total run 2M+, NT.

3:30pm: Easy run with Jon and the CAXC kids. Mostly just ran with Jon. Did a big lap around Walden which was super beautiful around sunset and then back. A bit of light gym work after to learn some technique on the lower-body circuit work. Fun day. Total run 5M+.

Viernes, 6 Diciembre, 2013 – AM: OFF

2pm: Ran from Tufts to Belmont and then ran with Evan and Noah (STRIVE-Peru ’13 alums). Ran a bit farther than I’d expected they’d want to go. Up snake hill and then around rock meadow. Ended up around 65’ for 9M.

Sabado, 7 Diciembre, 2013 – 11am: Very easy run with Mr. C at battle road. Felt good to get out and jog easy. Total run 5k, 3M+, in 30’.

XT: 1M easy on treadmill warm up then Leg circuits: 3×12 reps (step ups, overhead lunges, back squats, walking lunges). Mostly unweighted working on form.

Domingo, 8 Diciembre, 2013 – 8am: Ran with Jon on Minute-man Trail. A bit tired after another late night at Tufts, but a super nice run. Chilly ~28F, but actually felt fine after a bit. Ran a double-out-and-back so that we could run with the CSU gang for part of it. Mostly just us. Overall, felt surprisingly decent. Total run 14M in 1’40.

PM: Off. Couldn’t have asked for a better last day!
