2010 - Will the heart let me train?

December 16

Run
  • 47m 28s
  • 6.00 miles
  • 07m 54s /Mi

General Aerobic

2 of the big loops around the hood. Wanted to do more, but it just wasn't happening (scheduled for a long run but tired from yesterday).

Now the littlest one is sick, got the middle one's cold.  I'm just hoping it is the same one I already had so I don't get sick again!  Plan is to trim the tree today and once the weather breaks get my scheduled 15 miler in.  Not even close ....... legs were tired and pace was dropping, plus thought the IMFL broadcast was on at 4, but it is at 3 and didn't want to miss it.

Run
  • 46m 30s
  • 7.00 miles
  • 06m 38s /Mi

2 mile warm up - 16:00

5 mile race - 30:30 for time. Still waiting on official results, but that is a pretty big PR for me (about :38). I think I was right around the 50th place mark, which was where I was also last year but with a smaller field. HR is for race only. It was way cold and a bit windy.

Preliminary results have me 45th with a gun time of 30:34. And I was about 10 people back at the start, so my watch time should be pretty close to my chip time. Looks like I was 7th or 8th in the AG. 1902 people listed as finishers so far. Big frickin' race for a 5 miler!!

Have to make today a rest day (aside from I always take a day before any race no matter the distance).  But the middle bug is really sick again so I have to take the older one to school.  I'm still not 100%, but I'm not coughing or sniffling nearly as much.  This time of year sucks for colds ...... especially when you have kids.

  • 1h 29m 05s
  • 11.20 miles
  • 07m 57s /Mi

Medium-long

Out and back to I-95. Supposed to be long and steady, but my legs were sore and tired so my pace fell off on the return leg. Tired ....

  • 01m 53s /100 yards

100 free
100 one arm with kick board
100 free
100 front scull with pull buoy
100 free
100 fist drill
100 free
100 "monkey"
100 free
100 catch-up with pull buoy

All I could fit in. Focus on good form and staying relaxed. Better swim than the other day even if the times weren't faster on my stand-alone 100's.

Won $150 in the Mega Millions lottery game last night.  I'm a very lucky/blessed guy when it comes to that stuff.  Thanks to whomever it is that takes such good care of me and the family!!

December 11

Woke up late (this weekend being up past midnight each night catching up) so no run this morning.  Brought my stuff for a lunch time run.  Going for 8 miles general aerobic + strides.  "Officially" first day of marathon training for the B&A Trail marathon in March.

Ugh, had a meeting that just got out and ran all the way through lunch (until about 2:30).  We'll see if I can get my run in when I get home, but that will mess up tomorrow's run in the morning ......

Bah .... no run.  This cold still won't go away, my legs are still tired from Sunday and it sucks outside, so forget it.

Oh, got my holiday bonus today.  Hmmmmmm, toys sure look nice right now!! ;)

Have to go to PA to field measure and won't get back until late so no workout today.  Have to get on the road to drive so BT will have some peace and quiet without me .... ;-P
