8/23/15 to 9/12/15: Wedding Bells and Running

Well THAT was an eventful three weeks of more than just running...that's obviously always the case, but the past three weeks were even more eventful than usual.

Mileage was a bit lower with family coming into town, getting married, and then going on a honeymoon - but I think it all worked out quite well.  I returned from the honeymoon just in time to crap the bed at the Season's 20k...but I'll do a full race report on that one.  For now, here is the data:

23-Aug		Long Run				17.12		17+ at 7:45.  I really felt off for this run.  Still, it's always great to be out on Battle Road with the CSU crew.
24-Aug		Easy/Easy				11.21		AM: 5+ at 7:45 PM: 6+ at 7:20
25-Aug		Easy/Easy				11.2		AM: 5+ at whatever. PM: 6+ at whatever.  I skipped track after getting home and feeling really wiped out.  It was warm, but I think I need a rest in general.  Well…restish.
26-Aug		Easy/Rest				8.06		AM: 8+ around the Charles at 7:40. PM: Future in-laws arrived tonight.  No time for a double.
27-Aug		Easy/Rest				5.1		AM: Just getting a run in.  5+ at 7:27. PM: More folks arriving, and the planning is really getting underway.
28-Aug		Easy/Rehearsal Dinner				4.01		AM: Easy Fresh Pond run with Eli and Raleigh at 8+.  This was a really relaxing run. PM: Rehearsal dinner or something like it.  Lots of fun!
29-Aug		The Big Day				4.35		AM: Wanted to get this done quick.  Around the Charles at 6:30. PM: I'm now married. Ha! What a great day.
30-Aug		Rest				0		Not too hungover today.  That's good!  Brunch, cleanup, and travel to the Cape.  No run.
31-Aug		Exploring				7.68		Nice long exploratory run.  Across the breaker to the scorpion tail, then along the beach, which happened to be a mix of nude/gay beach.  Then back inland through a pathway in the marsh, and back on Commercial Street.
1-Sep		Exploring				9.1		Ran to Race Point Road for another exploratory run. Ran along the Province Lands Bike Trail, Beech Forest Trail, through the dunes, then to Race Point Beach for some water and a quick dip in the ocean.  Ran into a fox that was not remotely scared of us as well.  Another great run.
2-Sep		Exploring				4.19		Ran along Commercial Street to Truro, then back.  Went up and down a few side streets as well to see what was around.
3-Sep		Exploring				4.63		Ran along Commercial St to Snail Rd, then through some incredible sand dunes.  Very challenging run, but beautiful.  The old shacks along the water look…inviting.  Once on the beach, we walked at least a few miles up and down the coast seal watching.  No sharks though.
4-Sep		Exploring				3.53		A somewhat shorter run seeing what is on Bradford Street, then back along Commercial.  Legs are actually pretty cooked from the dunes and all the walking.
5-Sep		Travel Day				0		Lobster roll lunch in Eastham, dinner in Plympton.  Good day.  Tired though.
6-Sep		Season's 20k				14.63		Good grief that sucked.
7-Sep		Easy/Rest				8.3		AM: Around the Charles, then a 3m tempo-ish around Fresh Pond pacing Elizabeth.  Averaged about 6:45.
8-Sep		Easy/Easy				11.2		AM: 5+ commute at 8min. PM: 6+ commute home at 8min.  Skipped track, my calves are really shot from Sunday, plus it's hot as eff.
9-Sep		Easy/Easy				13.24		AM: 7+ at 8min. PM: 6+ at 7:50ish.
10-Sep		Easy/Tempo				15.3		AM: 7+ at 8min. PM: 6+ home, then a 1 lap tempo with Terry.  Finished the final half mile at a really good clip.
11-Sep		Easy/Easy				13.18		AM: 7+ at 8min. PM: 6+ at 7:50ish.
12-Sep		Easy				4.17		AM: Volunteered at Fresh Pond then ran 4+ at about 7:15/mile.
