A Fun End to Week 3

Although I battled through some Achilles pain earlier in the week, we both completed our Week 3 long runs while on a weekend getaway in Stowe, VT (no kids!)

The best part of Week 3 training had nothing to do with the training itself. The main reason we went to Stowe, VT was to drive a bunch of sports cars in an event put on by World Class Driving. You can sign up for a half day of driving a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Corvette Callaway and a Ford GT. This was my birthday gift from Chris (HOW COOL IS THAT?!?)

We also stayed at Top Notch Resort, which has an incredible spa and we both took advantage of the facilities from massages to steam rooms to hot tubs. It was very good therapy for the both of us.

We did our long runs together - a rare feat - on Saturday through a great paved trail that is carved through the woods and streams of Stowe. Although it was very hot, we were both pleased with our runs. This was the first time I ran since shutting it down last Tuesday and I'm happy to report the Achilles pain was almost non-existent. Thanks to all of you for your advice - the icing and wrapping really helped the situation.
