Monday:
6mi/40min in Pisgah with Griffin. Hamstrings are sore today, probably from the hard fall in the race on Saturday. My knee felt good. My (R) big toe was a little painful but manageable.
Tuesday:
9mi/62min on Grafton Ponds trails with Ferenc and the girls. Great run. I felt good and the toe wasn't too much of an issue. Knee is good.
Wednesday;
0mi. It is Jen's birthday today. We celebrated by gut gorging at Koto's Japanese Steak House. Good food and fun times.
Thursday:
Am: 1mi + Circuits with Fit Club.
Pm: 10mi/70min in Pisgah with Griffin. Good run. Legs felt good. I should have worn my micro spikes as there were a lot of icy spots on the trails. There are some open muddy spots in a very few sunny places. Full snow free trails is still a long ways out. Did a solid yoga session after the run. I need to get to the gym to lift soon. I set my alarm twice this week but turned it off because I needed more sleep.
Friday:
9mi/62min on the Putney dirt roads with Ferenc. Good run. Of course it was a bit cold and drizzly. It seems to always be raining and cold when we do this loop.
Saturday:
4mi/30min in Pisgah with Griffin. The trails are all ice. My micro spikes work great but poor Griffin was slipping and sliding all over the place. My legs are tired. I know I'm out of shape when two back to back days of 10 and 9 miles leaves me tired the following day.
Sunday:
0mi. I lifted weights and then played basketball for an hour.
Total for the week:
39mi. Not a great week. This could have been a 50 mile week if I ran on Sunday. I also only lifted once. I need to increase the mileage and make sure I get to the gym more next week.
That ice just doesn't want to go away! I was in a heavily wooded area today, and there were still patches of ice on the trails...see you next Saturday!
