Just one race at a time

Rest day - ate way too much.  Why do I always eat more on fast Sunday?

8 X 400 meters at 1% incline and 7:30 pace.  Was not as hard as last week but still very hard!  I felt my left knee start to hurt on the last one but it is all better now so I am sure it was just tired like the rest of my body!

Lifted for quads and back

Gravitron 2 pull-ups at 80 pounds 3 at 90 4 at 100 rest 5 at 100 still not one pull-up alone!  Kids no longer laugh at me they just feel sorry for me.  One son commented that he "thought I might have moved this time"  so so sad!

Today was suppose to be a 4.5 mile run with tomorrow being a 4 mile race pace run.  After I run tomorrow I am going to lift and do a spin class so today I wanted to do my race pace.  I know that this will make two hard training days in a row but I wanted to try. Here are my splits 8:17, 8:29, 8:53, 8:39, 8:51 I needed 8:30 miles to be race pace so I didn't quite make it. I think I went out to fast and then couldn't hold it all the way to the end.  After I ran I shoveled the drive way and now my back hurts I guess I should have got out the snow blower.

4 miles at 1% incline 9:13 pace

Lifted for hamstring Gravitron 3 sets of 5 at 100 pounds

Spin class - hill intervals

Went to get in my car wouldn't start... key wouldn't turn... long story short with the tow I am out 900 dollar and don't have a car today! I should have married a mechanic!

Waited for car guy to call and picked up son from Utah State.  Didn't work out at all.  Should have ran 3 miles at least but didn't!

6 miles elliptical 11% resistance 42:20 Faster again this week - still felt very hard.  Tried to see how long I could hold it at 180 rpm like Rhett, 22 seconds, I am totally not elite.

lifted for legs, back and shoulders.

Gravitron 3 sets of 5 at 100 pounds - Hey if I lose 100 pound I could win this contest easy maybe I shouldn't eat until it is over.

Yoga

Wanted to run 9 today but the weather was a little too scary.  I was plenty warm and could have ran all day in one direction but running in the other direction caused the snow to blow right into my face and I couldn't see.  I also would have snow stick to my shoes and so my form was totally off until it fell off.  Anyway long story short I did 7 miles, I love running in the snow I just wished there was no wind.  I felt like I could have gone faster during the whole run and finished wanting to run more. 

splits 9:11, 9:12, 9:13, Snow started to come down faster and stick to the road and my shoes 9:30, 9:23, 9:42, 9:55
