Relentless

Finishing the move today, so I wasn't sure how many miles I would get in.  Then when working on some plumbing, I decided to try and take my eye out with a screwdriver and the headache that caused put me out of commission for the day.

Not sore from the race today.  I kind of like the feeling that I ran hard and can still be functional.

We were supposed to be closing on our old house today so I didn't have time to run after school.  Came home to find out that it got bumped to tomorrow.  So I got the treadmill set up - downstairs and not in the garage! - and put a movie on for the girls and went 3 miles at 7:30.  Run was pretty good.  Did feel a little bit of fatigue from the race.

*treadmill will always be set at 1% unless notes*

W-151

RHR-41

weight has been a little low coming off the flu and I am always hungry, but heartrate has stabliized. 

On treadmill - started it for a mile at 7:30, then 1 at 7:13, 1 at 6:58, 1 at 6:44, 1 at 6:31.  Felt okay, treadmill does kind of get boring.  I used to be in a grove and would do a lot onger runs on it (during the hot summer, or early morning) but not having ran on it in a while has made me think about it too much and how long it takes to do a workout while going nowhere.

Treadmill - 1% at 6:58 - felt pretty good just cruising along. Didn't feel like I was working too hard and I am ready to bring the miles back up to 70-80 (where I want to be miles wise for Boston training). Next week I will get in some 800's or miles (I'm not sure. I need to outline my training plan for the next two months).

Weights this afternoon.

Green Springs/Powerline/Middleton Trail - felt very good to get OUT and run somewhere again.  At the same time, I think the recovery was nice and today and tomorrow will hopefully get me geared up for a couple months of serious training.  I outlined my plan for Boston today and if I can hit a few good runs, I plan on running well there in April.  No watch today, just enjoyed the nice trail and decent weather.

W-148.5

RHR-40 

St. George Running Club run from Dixie Center into Bloomington Hills and up to 100 South then Tabernacle and down Main.  Felt pretty good.  I was a bit sore from weights Thursday and tired (from life) and it took awhile to get going, but Bill kept pulling me along.  Then the run ended right when I started feeling like I could go a bit.  I figured it was okay, however, and decided to just enjoy it for what it was.

W-149

RHR-45 (felt a little anxiety about life right when I woke up, tried to relax to get a good heart rate read,  but my mind always wanders)

Sunday:

W-155 (ate way too much crap food yesterday, so I hid the cookies and tried to do a little better today)

RHR-43 

Goals for next week:  Get serious about training again.  Hit some good mile repeats (see how I can do for this 5:00 mile stuff - it may kill me) and some solid hill (for about a month) and start working miles back up - I'll try around 60.
