Training Week 11/10/14

The goal for this week is to get close to 70 miles.
11/11/14 - Ran the 6 mile loop at HR and 1.5 mile cool down.  Ran loop in 45:23.
     Later that evening I did a 4 mile loop in Five Fingers.
11/12/14 - Ran 8 miles around the hood and greenway.
11/14/14 - Ran 6.2 miles around Fishburn and Grandin Court
11/15/14 - Did a 38 mile section of the AT.  We started off of Pocahontas Road near route 460 in Pearisburg and headed north on the AT to route 42.  This section is really remote except for travelling through the Mountain lake Wilderness around miles 22-28.  The day had 3 big climbs and descents for a total of around 8250 of climbing.  Much of the trail was rocky and difficult to stay in a running grove. 
Started with 100oz of water and one 20 handheld with Heed.  Ended up getting water after the War Spur Shelter from a creek the AT goes over.  We use the sawyer mini filter and it works great and has a low, $19 price tag. 
This was a challenging section of AT.
11/16/14 - James and I ran 6 around the hook, VWCC, and Fishburn Park, and then I did a .85 mile cool down.
Total for the week; 70.5 miles of running
