Catching up

Whoops. I got behind in my journal.

1/2/07 – Back, arms, and stomach at the PAC

1/3/07 – Speedwork. I felt a little under the weather and got a late start, so I did my 3 x 1 mile intervals on the treadmill. I was supposed to hit 6:15’s, but eased into it with a 6:30, 6:22, and 6:15 for the final one.

1/4/07 – Weights. I ended up chatting with a bunch of folks, so I had about 20 mins for my workout before heading home for dinner. Chest and shoulders – very, very fast. Didn’t get much out of it.

1/5/07 – Tempo work. Ran in the rain after work. It poured the last 10 minutes or so. I did a 1 mile warm up, 28 mins at a brisk pace, and 1 mile cool down.

1/6/07 – A rest day. Watched kids basketball games, hung out with them, and worked around the house.

1/7/07 – 14 miler. The run started out great, despite buckets of rain coming down.  I toyed with the idea of running on the treadmill for two hours but decided better to get rained on than bored to death. All and all a good run, but like always, the hills in green valley left me heavy-legged after mile 7 or 8. I had a good, comfortable pace going and felt pretty strong. Man, I really like the lemon sublime gu flavor! 🙂 Good gu – apple, orange, vanilla, lime, and sometimes expresso. The bad stuff – raspberry, strawberry, and cola flavored. That stuff stays with you! Knee felt pretty good but was a little sore by the end. I ran some on the cart path at the green valley course, since no one was out in the monsoon.  1:52 and some change.
