Every day you've got running shoes on, it's a good day.Sunday: Rest Day
~Sean Astin, actor
Result: Rested, but didn't hurt after 16 miles the day before - success!!
Monday: 5 Miles Easy w/Strides
Result: 5.01 miles in 49:10, 9:49 pace. Felt good.
Tuesday: 8 Miles Hills
Result: 8.01 miles in 1:24:52, 10:36 pace. We were in Santa Barbara. Wanna run flat? Head to the ocean. Want hills? Head away from the ocean. Very simple.
Wednesday: Rest Day
Result: Rested.
Thursday: Time Trial
Result: 3.92 in 48:33, 12:23 pace. I was trying out new shoes - they will be returned! I had to stop and retie them several times and just could not get into a groove. Later in the day I started feeling "icky." No other way to describe it, not a major illness, but no energy and aching all over. This, I knew, was not from running.
Friday: 4 Miles Easy
Result: In an effort to fight off whatever hit me on Thursday, I took Friday off. I don't have time to get sick! Easter is a week from Sunday!
Saturday: 14 Miles LSD or Half Marathon
Result: 10.06 miles in 2:00:54, 12:01 pace. I knew today was iffy. I felt better when I went to bed Friday night, but wasn't sure how I'd do. I decided if I didn't have the pep for speed, I'd go for hills. A half marathon would have taken about 2 hours, so I ran hills for two hours instead. I called it HSD - hilly slow distance!
