What a great race! Saturday was beautiful weather. The day of the race was well organized and there was a great 'after-party' award ceremony!

One thing would greatly improve this race: an ACCURATE MAP of the race course made available ONLINE. A hand-drawn map was available the day before the race, but it was really bad and not clear at all... the front runners went off-course and lost precious time in the race.

I've got a light week planned this week.

I kept a milage journal this year and noted a cycle every third week. Two weeks heavy, one week lighter. When I pushed through this cycle I got injured (twice). So this year (2011), I'm planning on it......Any gains in millage will be in the heavy weeks, but the third will drop to approx. 60%.

Hope it keeps the injury bug away!

BOSNPM- nice workout. I love a good run on the grass. I've read the term 'strides' used for the workout where you run the straights, walk the curves.... I like that one too. Makes me miss the track.

Long run today in snow- shooting for 10miles.

Re: 3X1@6:00: I hope it translates well to an actual 5K RACE.... it was on the treadmill, so I think it's a bit faster than what I would do at the track.

pretty good speed training today:

3 X 1mile @ 6:00min/mi.... 1mile warmup, 1/2 mile cooldowns between, and 1mile cooldown.

hope to bring the time between intervals down over the next month or so.

Steve- My 10mile run was out on the bike path near our home. It leads to a park on Lake St. Clair. My face was so numb that I couldn't speak clearly.

I would probably run more miles indoors if I had a nice treadmill.... like a WOODWAY. Those things are NICE!

I'm gonna get some cross-training in tonight and try a SPIN class at the local gym.... looks like a sweaty mess last I checked.
