(co-ed team of 4!) (something REALLY new and different!!!) PROFESSIONALLY, 2011 HAS BEEN A DEADLY CHALLENGING!!! So I am happy to have survived, much less keep in reasonable shape and manage to run a bunch of short races this year. My 5K's have been well off my sub-20 PR, but have been fun! Over the past 2-3 weeks, I have been ramping up my fitness, now working out 2 times per day, running an average of about 4 miles per day in the morning and biking 30-45 minutes at the end of the day. Found a rush hour route from my office to the airport and back. Very cool. Two nights ago I rode 22 miles with Deacy and a fast group of riders at 75 th St Brewery evening ride. I have only ridden about 6 times this year, instead jealously guarding whatever running mileage I could log this year despite the ongoing and worsening cluster$&@$ brought about my my former partner's 2007 mental meltdown. The ride felt great and was the start of a return to biking form. I am getting tuned up!!!! For what??? I don't know, other than attempting to return to fitness machine status for sanity's sake! ). | | |
| Ran conservatively, since I surprisingly have a slight case of shin splints, dialing into 7:41 MP for the second 1 1/2 miles. Comfortable run. | | |
| 4x400 intervals on the track at 6:40 pace per my Garmin. Me and Robbie at Harmony. 44 degrees. No eind. Nice to get outside! It was crazy, soupy foggy so I had to beat it and get driving downtown before i got stuck in a foggy rush hour. Once I got downtown to the Q Hill Y, I ran another 5 intervals, 3 of them at 6:22, the 4th one at 6:15, and the last one at 5:56 pace. Felt pretty darn good for 9 intervals!!! | | |
| I can't remember Monday, but I ran my 3 miles. Tuesday I ran 4 miles at 9,8,7,8.5 pace for a 30 minute tempo run. | | |
| 33 miles!!! That makes me happy. Literally!! I think getting back into my best physical condition, not just good condition, affects my ability to handle to trials and tribulations of my professional life!!! I am quite excited for nice weather to come along. Me, Robbie, and Jen are off to a nice start for 2011 and will be able to hit the ground running!!! | | |
