This blog is about my running experience. I am not a physician, nutritionist or personal trainer. I am a runner. I do not know it all. I am only writing from my own experiences. I finished my first marathon on June 3, 2012. Who knows where my feet will take me next!

Training Week 8 Results

I really should know better than to expect to have a good week when we travel!  I am always so wiped out with jetlag.  The running that I did was good, I just had quite a few rest days...

Sunday:  Rest Day
Result:  Rested.  Actually, I was on my feet a ton!  I watched Les race the Olomana Road Race, which took about two hours.  Then I played the piano for church.

Monday: Time Trial
Result:  Rested.  I was really tired and in need of a true rest day.
Walked 2.3 miles

Tuesday:  5 Miles Easy w/6 Strides (pace 9:58 pace)
Result:  Ran 5.14 miles in 1:09:54, 13:36 pace.
I have no idea why, but I woke up really stiff and sore.  I was going to do my time trial, but had zero speed in my legs.  I knew I was going to run Round Top on Wednesday, so after about 3 miles I decided to take it easy so my legs would be fresh.
Also walked 3.2 miles

Wednesday:  8 Miles Hills (no planned pace)
Result:  Ran 8.61 miles in 1:34:40, 10:59 pace
I continue to run higher and higher up Round Top.  I didn't know it until I got home, but I was less than a half mile from the top!  There is actually a loop that goes about Tantalus Mountain - Round Top Road on one side and Tantalus Road on the other.  I'm planning to run it the next time we are in Hawaii.

Thursday:  Rest Day
Result:  Rested
Red eye flights are killers.

Friday:  8 Mile Bike Ride
Result:  Rested.  We went to bed at 9:00 Thursday night and slept until 8:00 Friday morning!  I think we were a little tired.

Saturday:  14 Miles LSD or Half Marathon  (pace 10:04-11:04)
Result:  Ran 10 miles in  1:54:37, 11:28 pace
I still don't feel completely in sync with California time, but a little better.  It was 61 degrees when I got up to run - marvelous!

Total miles:
Running:  23.75
Walking:  5.5
Total:  29.26
