Not too much sleep last night. Only about 6hrs (again) then a 10hr day at work. I envy the professional athlete, to have time to focus solely on running. It amazes me the mileage some of you fellow bloggers get with families of 3 and 4 kids on top of your jobs… All that being said I think I’m holding up pretty well. I’m only going to go about 10mpw higher in total mileage and not for another 3-4 weeks but it is definitely tough on only 6-7 hrs of sleep per night. The good news is as of now I’m still finding time to get in my 60hrs per week of work, the mileage, and maintain family time.
So far this season has been about the mileage and it will continue to be that way until after the April marathon. I want to see what I can run on a solid base and work in some faster, shorter intervals for the subsequent marathon. Tomorrow I will test my speed at the SLCTC 5K but with the lead in my legs I’m more curious than having any plans. I think I’ll just try to hang on for dear life to the faster guys and see how long I can last.
On a separate note I called in my first order to the St. George Running Center and the service was great. The shipping was minimal and I got my shoes and accessories within 24hrs!
Oh yeah. I did run tonight, 5mi on the treadmill 8, 7:30, and then 6:58s… |
