Re: Wednesday run

Supposed to run 7 but my body is feeling pretty beat. I'm insatiably hungry (I feel like the very hungry caterpillar: "ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon")  and no matter how much sleep I get I'm exhausted so I'm electing to make today a yoga day. Might throw my bike on the trainer later or squeeze in some pool time between meetings. TBD





I do today what you won't, so tomorrow I do what you can't.

Re: Wednesday run

Kat,

 

You burned 1,000,000 calories over the week-end with 45 miles.  You need extra food and sleep to be ready for the JFK.

 

I just got out of the pool, swam a mile at lunch, I could tell I have not swam in a month.  Intervals tonight at UNCW track.

Re: Wednesday run

A speedy treadmill workout for me. 3 miles.  I see a lot of treadmills in my future with the days shorter and crazy people attacking women in my neighborhood. I hope they catch that %4#**$ Time to sign up for some self defense classes and buy  some mace.

I think it's closer to about 5,000 calories, but still a ton. My body feels so good I keep forgetting that I ran so much last weekend. I did an hour of yoga and spent some time on the foam roller. I'm just glad I've learned enough to stop and listen when my body speaks up.

 

Nice swim. It'll come back quickly- I find swimming is much more resilient than running. Take a month off of swimming and you can bounce back quickly. A month off of running and you're more or less back to square 1. I think post-JFK I'm going to start a Furman FIRST-type approach to my running. I'm simultaneously very excited and very nervous about intervals!

Re: Wednesday run

Ran 6 today with a race in the middle.  A co-worker (very tall, keep in mind I am only 5'6" with short legs) challenged me to a race on the track.  We raced at 50M and 100M didstances.  Needless to say, I am going home with his lunch money in my pocket.  He knows I could beat him at a distance but he though he would take me at the shorter distances.  Anyway, good run.





Next up:  Rocket City Marathon (12/12), then Recover from the Holidays 50K(12/31), Mountain Midst 1/23/10

Re: Wednesday run

5 miles today with five 800s.  A pretty good day.





We've come this far and it's still the same,
Runnin' out here in the rain.
Just one more mile, if only you could fly.
(Apologies to T. Rush and J. Tempchin, for the paraphrase)
