Double recovery day.

Morning run:
4 mile easy recovery with an out and back through the neighborhood. Felt okay, legs a little tired but it was frigid out! 34:26 for time.

Evening run:
3 mile loop around the hood. Scheduled for two loops but it was cold and even though I felt fine, I've got a big interval workout tommorrow so I decided to shorten it up. 25:11 for time.

Average swim. Nothing to remarkable. Can't wait until I don't have to get the kids out the door every morning for school so that I can get more pool time. But that won't be until June, right when I should be starting to wind down the training for IMLP. Gulp!

Looks like the old nanny/baby sitter is okay with watching the kids for two days/nights so I will more than likely be going to run Boston again this year.  We'll go up Saturday so that we can have a day together and so Mir can meet her old roommate and have some time with her.  Need to find the cash flow so I can register and get plane tickets.  We'll probably stay in Manchester since that is where her friend lives near.

Long

8 loops of Centennial (2.5 per loop). Pace was consistent and miles were clicking off nicely. Didn't really start to tire until thE last lap. It was tough to hold the pace then. Gu2O every lap and Gu shot from gel bottle every other one. Total was about 40 oz. of fluid and 3 Gu's.

Long run on the schedule today and then probably more house cleaning.  At least we finally got the X-Mas tree down and all that stuff put away yesterday. Tongue out

Run
  • 56m 04s
  • 7.50 miles

General Aerobic + Speed

Out and back to 29 plus a little extra in the neighborhood to get my 7. 6 x 100 strides mixed in. Legs felt heavy but pace was actually pretty good.

Good night's sleep and plenty of it!  It's cold and partly cloudy this morning but will be going out for a short general aerobic as scheduled.  Then really need to focus on getting the house straightened up and clean.  Probably going to be moving a bunch of boxes around today.

Run
  • 2h 02m 43s
  • 15.20 miles
  • 08m 04s /Mi

Morning run:
Lactic Threshold

2.1 mile warm up
4 miles tempo (26:24 time for 6:36 pace - avg. HR was 174)
5.1 mile recovery

Not a good run at all. Supposed to be 6 tempo, but pace was falling off and I was tiring fast. So I shortened it to 4 tempo. Still getting over whatever stomach bug I had maybe??

Evening run:

4 mile recovery. Really slow pace (around 9:05 or so) but it was what I needed to do for a recovery effort.

Double on the schedule today.  This morning's run and then a 4 mile recovery tonight.  Not going to do the swim this morning as I'm tired and I've got stuff that needs to be finished at work.

January 10

Didn't run this morning because I woke up a few times with my stomach issues.  Didn't have to go to the bathroom or throw up but it just felt like someone had kicked me in the stomach all night.  We'll see how I feel when I get home tonight but it looks like yesterday's 15 ain't happening.  Today was supposed to be 5, which I basically did yesterday and tomorrow is a hard day with 11 miles with 6 at tempo in the morning and a 4 mile recovery in the evening.  So I can't really do a longer run tonight even if I felt up to it.  Maybe I'll try for an 8 - 10 miler if I'm feeling better.

Decision was to just make it an unscheduled rest day.  Make sure I'm over this bug.
