Of Mice and Marathons

AM: 120' on the trainer. 210W. HR 136.

Boarstone on TrainerRoad. Legs a little sore from yesterday.

PM: 120' on the trainer. 203W. HR 137.

Had a really good ride. Started watching the Midnight Club. The boys are exhausted as we had them out late last night for a party at a friend's.

AM: 120' on the trainer. 230W. HR 145.

REALLY good ride. A little anxious with impending travel (and a snowstorm I guess), but we will just have to figure it out. 

Planned last night to do the Fat Bike Challenge segment, but bailed on it. I wasn't sure about the conditions to get to the park and wasn't going to drive. I will either do it tomorrow or skip it and try to get my midweek running workout in.

AM: 7.6 miles, averaged 8:32. HR 154.

2 x 10' @ 1 HR Race Effort

Cold and icy. Ran in screw shoes, which potentially flared up my morton's neuroma. It isn't bad but I can feel the first indications of it and I don't want to mess with it. I might run in Maine, but will likley just reset. 

Workout mostly by feel as prescribed, just checked the HR and was shooting for around 175 BPM for each interval without any sense of pace. 

Interval 1: 6:49 pace @ 173 BPM

Interval 2: 6:48 pace @ 176 BPM 

I'll take it, but I wish my foot wasn't feeling off. 

We drive to Maine tomorrow trying to outrun a snowstorm.

Off. 

Traveled to Geneva, NY, which is much more charming than most places we generally stop in New York. Boys did fairly well.

Off. 

Got to Maine a little after 7 I think it was. The boys were ready to be done. Not as easy as it once was, but that is a lot to ask them.

Off.

Foot is feeling better. I have been wearign a metatarsal pad as I do when the issue crops up in my regular shoes and my house shoes. I was limping slightly on our first or second travel day, possibly both.

We had a quiet dinner with just my parents, though siblings were over earlier in the day. It is a revolving door of people at my parents' house as it has always been.
