I should be whining pretty good after that!!!
| Date | Saturday November 13th |
| Plan | am - 23 miles pm - Bob workout 1 (30 minutes - this should really hurt) |
| Outcome | 5am - 49F and windy. Did a hard 23 miles in 3:07:14 (8:08 pace). Slower than last week, but very pleased for several reasons: it was very windy, I added in the monster hills of Stratford early in the run and attacked them (though they did take some of the starch out of me) and I did the whole run by myself (it's a real mental challenge to keep your pace going for 23 miles when it's just you, you're tired and you're running into the wind, but it's also great practice for Rocky). And I just realized, if I finished out another 3.2 miles at that average, it would still be a marathon PR. Have to admit, I'm pretty tired now though. Tonight's workout and tomorrow's 16 miles should be interesting. pm - tonight's workout has been moved to tomorrow since the TV is booked (wife is watching the Texas A&M game). Ever the opportunist, I am instead enjoying an extra slice of the yummy pumpkin pie I made this afternoon. I may just go and get another piece too. |
| Date | Sunday November 14th |
| Plan | am - 16 miles pm - Nothing |
| Outcome | am - curtailed this morning's run to 8 miles because of a sick kid. Ran with Steve and Clea - a nice 8:11 pace pm - holding plank position, feeling completely alive and watching the sweat pour off me, I'm so glad I shifted the weights workout to tonight. Some days you just need to hit something really hard, and this was one of those days. Great workout. |
| Date | Monday November 15th |
| Plan | am - Nothing pm - Weights with balance (30 minutes) |
| Outcome | pm - 30 minutes of weights circuits while balanced on one leg. I notice I'm still sore from yesterday and Saturday. |
| Date | Tuesday November 16th |
| Plan | am - 10 miles pm - Weights circuit training (1 hour) |
| Outcome | 4:30am - 48F, clear and breezy. I woke this morning with tired and sore legs. What a great opportunity to see how much I can push. Found the zone, ran the soreness out and did 10 miles in 1:13:49 (7:23 pace). Mission accomplished. pm - held back a bit tonight because I want to put in another big run tomorrow morning |
| Date | Wednesday November 17th |
| Plan | am - 8 miles pm - Bicycle trainer (30 minutes) |
| Outcome | 4:30am - 46F, chilly and still. Great running weather, and another big effort run - I did the 8 mile Danish run in 58:27 (7:18 pace) with a 6:59 last mile. Felt awesome. pm - oh bike trainer, how much do I hate thee!!! |
| Date | Thursday November 18th |
| Plan | am - 6 miles pm - Bob Harper's Workout 1 (30 minutes) |
| Outcome | am - rewarded myself for a good training week by having an extra hour in bed instead of running this morning. I don't know why I never do the Thursday run, maybe because it's "only" 6 miles. pm - got in a good hard workout tonight. Here's to the end of another great training week. |
| Date | Friday November 12th |
| Plan | am - Nothing pm - Nothing |
| Outcome | Rest day |
