So, I headed out for my 9.2 mile loop, knowing that I could do it comfortably if I kept the pace
really slow. Success. The PF was hardly present. Needless to say I'm happy.I saw my first red-winged blackbird of the year during the run. These are one of the first species of birds that arrive in Maine during the spring migration. Given that 10"-16" of snow are expected tonight and tomorrow followed by another cold snap, he might want to think about heading back down south for a little bit longer. Still, nice to see and hear one.
I saw one person and several animals during today's run that will be happy about tonight's storm... a dog-sledder and his team of dogs. The guy was setting up his rig when I saw him. Would have been great to see them in action, but I was about a mile from home and a hot shower sounded better.
Had a 41.8 mile week this week and was able to do so relatively comfortably. Two 40+ mile weeks in a row is a big accomplishment for me at this stage. And with today's run on top of yesterday's long run, I feel I've really earned my rest day tomorrow.
Ran 9.2 miles @ 9:05/mile pace.

Does Maine have Iditarod style races?
They definitely do have dog sled races up at Pineland Farms, and I can imagine other places in Maine as well. However, not to familiar with that scene, though it looks like a lot of fun.
Well done on the long run and great to hear that it had no impact on the PF.
