I have been working 7 days a week for the past 4 weeks, while maintaining my running regimen. I should feel like this guy here, but surprisingly I'm OK. At first I felt tired because I thought I was supposed be tired from the busy schedule. But really, my body felt fine; I just had to get my mind on board. But all that hustle and bustle has come to an end as my vacay from my regular job has started and I'll be off until January 5th. Whoo-hoo!WEEK 23 Recap:
- Monday: 2 miles
- Tuesday: 3 miles, speed intervals
- Wednesday: cross training
- Thursday: 2 miles, light tempo
- Friday: rest
- Saturday: 5.5 miles
- Sunday: rest
- TOTAL: 12.5 MILES
This week was a good week to cut back mileage. I've changed my training strategy a bit since I began training with K; adding speed intervals and tempo runs. I also needed to step back because I had been increasing weekly mileage steadily for a few weeks. I've learned that it's good to cut back every few weeks.
Another first for me this week too: I ran with a group outside for the first time. I met K and M at Forbidden Drive for about 5.5 miles on the trail. We ran a pace a bit faster than I'm used to but I was able to keep up with no problem! And the cold weather wasn't too bad either; it was about 28*F. I'm looking forward to running with those guys again soon!
Injury/Health Report: Still feeling fine!
Tech Report: I spent all my money on Christmas gifts for my family, so I don't think there will be anything to report on for a while :(
Happy Holidays!
Almost Thirty
