Monday- did a 4.5 mile Recovery Run while my daughter had basketball practice. Cold night, but good tunes got me through it. GOnna be lots of miles by headlamp this month.
Wednesday- The Daily Double track workout. Warmed up with a 2 mile run to the track from work. Did 2 1200m sprints, 2 800 m sprints, 2 600m sprints, and finished with 2 400 m sprints. Each sprint my pace got faster, as I went from an 8:40 mile pace, down to a 7:00 mile pace on my last sprint of the night. Cooled down with a 2 mile run back to work by headlamp.
Friday-Wasn’t feeling 100% at work with a slightly upset stomach and headache, but got the four mile run done. 2 hours after was hit with a fever and became violently ill. Went to bed and woke up feeling better except dehydrated. to quote trail runner John M. (not me) “vomiting is inconvenient, not fatal.”
Sunday- Another Double loop marking the trail at quarter to seven AM with Patrick, Lori and Doug. Started raining on us about 4 miles in on the first loop, and continued for the whole second loop. Trails were pretty dry before the new rain, but got slippery on the second loop. Felt really good as we finished the second loop with just under 2 hours of time running. I’m handling the hills better this year.
Weekly mileage: 26.25
Year to date: 74.9 miles
