Bellows Falls

June 8th (Saturday): 7:30am wakeup. Chilled on the couch. Texted Ferenc to see what the deal was for the weekend. Shoot to arrive by 4pm. Cool with me. A Clif Bar for a snack and out for a run at 10:30am. Easy 7+ miles (51:17).

Back to stretch and foam roll a whole bunch. Legs still had some junk in them, but the week was dedicated to heat and ice (foam rolling once it was bearable). I made a whole bunch food since I needed to fuel up for Ascutney as well as the lack of cooking for the week. Serious protein shake with about 10+ strawberries in it. 4 egg spinach and omelet with cheddar cheese for breakfast. Cooked up a bunch of chicken with dry rub, chili powder, Italian dressing and hot sauce. Whipped up a baby spinach (organic), ranch dressing and chicken wrap for the car ride over to Vermont. A load of laundry in the morning hours. Washed dishes and unloaded/loaded the dishwasher. Wanted to come back to a semi-clean house.

 

Uhhh yeahhh!

On the road by 2:30. 2 hour ride of smooth driving. Destroyed the wrap about halfway through the trip. Just what I needed. Gatorade to wash it all down. Ferenc's by 4:30pm. Over to Grafton Pond trails for an easy 5 miles (37:21) with the dogs. Soaked in the river for 10 minutes. Cold, but wicked refreshing. Just what the doctor ordered, an ice bath.

Back to the house to chill and figure out what we wanted for dinner. Pizza and salad. Down to the grocery store for the necessary items. Delicious pizza and salad. Cowtale was purchased for dessert. Forgot about it so it was pushed to a reward for post race. Django Unchained was the feature presentation and it was epic. Holy cow! Jamie Foxx was intense and the whole thing keep my attention for the 2.5 hours. Bed by midnight. Pumped me up for the race.
