I won't go over day by day how the training went over the past week+...my writing is boring enough, but I will touch on the highlights.
Week 3 ending June 4th: 40 miles of running / 4 hours of riding
Weekly weight - 177.6
I feel like I'm ready to pace at Grandma's. Again, to pace at 3:15, I need to be in 3:05 shape, and I feel like I am. The feet are feeling amazing lately...I just need to keep with the PT...who knows what the season has in store for me. It's exciting to finally start thinking about a race 'schedule' for myself. Though I do, and always will, lack race specific training for any given period of time/race, but I'd like to run a 50 miler, a track mile, a fast marathon along with a solid CC season this fall...maybe head to CC Nationals with the Run N Fun Race Team? I know there is still a fast mile in there, maybe not another 4:09 or 4:14, but who knows.
Highlights over the past week include:
Saturday June 4th: We all have these runs...8 miles of ugly/slow running. Ran the horse trails at the State Park where we were camping, in the heat of the day of course...trails were crap, bugs were awful, and it was hotter than poop... Just get 'er done, D!
Tuesday June 7th: Holy crap was it hot...103! A quick 6 miles at Lake Elmo...mile 1 in 6:34 (?) and then was able to settle in at 7:20ish pace...felt pretty easy, even after riding 2 hours yesterday. But crap, it was hot...kind of like Grandma's in 2005, 2007 and 2009... :)
Thursday June 9th: 2 loops at Lake Elmo with David...1st 10K loop in 49:16, 2nd loop in 49:12. ...and the only reason I mention this run is that it was completely pain free...for the first time in 2+ years!
13 miles of tempo running with Bill later today...stay tuned :)
Coach D
