Wednesday-Thursday-Friday In The DEEP Freeze in Eastport and Camden

Each day I took to the roads of Maine the temps were below zero. I started my workouts later hoping that the sunlight would help warm the temps to a slightly more tolerable level. Here are the tails of the tape— Wednesday in Easport doing the 3 mile in town loop and the in town 2.3 plus a little extra-9.09 miles in 2:01:16 for a 13: 20 minute per mile pace with a 731 foot elevation gain with an average heartrate of 129 bpm at a temp of 6 degrees and 59 percent humidity. Thursday I did the intown 2.3 twice doing the lollipop loop and one in town 3 doing 9.02 in 2:00:30 for a 13:21 minute per mile pace with an average heartrate of 131 bpm at a temp of -3 with humidity at 72 percent and the elevation gain was not recorded. Today I drove into Camden and did Bayview Street and Beauchamp Point going by snow packed foot trail for about a mile and a half and then back doing 9.19 miles in 2:08:14 for a 13:56 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 774 feet with an average pulse of 128 bpm at a temp of -5 with 76 percent humidity. The Camden loop will Lord willing be revisited as it is quiet , secluded, and absolutely beautiful with seaside scenery— a new favorite loop now. The course is undulating with inclines and declines throughout the whole scenic route. Done for the week. Blessed to get the work in in such challenging conditions.  Have a blessed weekend and a happy new year!
