| I NEED MORE TIME AND ENERGY! Squeezed in 5 miles on a TM while out of town with the family for the weekend... well for a day and a half... too much to do Sunday so we had to get back late Saturday night. It was a fun Friday night and Saturday though.

| Thank goodness for Tuesday night track workouts with Jim and Jeff. They are the only thing keeping me focused on running lately. I got there just a little late today and did the last bit of warm up with them. Then we did 8 x 800m (2:55, 2:58, 2:53, 2:55, 2:56, 2:57, 2:53, 2:43) with 400m recovery jogs (averaging about 2:45 for recovery.) Finished with a quick cool down for a total of 7.5 miles. | |

5 Days in a row of running! I know it's silly that that excites me, but it has been a while since I've done that. I was in the mood to do some hill work today so I took the long way (2.5 miles) to a wash near my house for my warm up. A road goes down the wash and then back up the other side. It is VERY steep going up one side and about 100m long, and pretty darn steep going up the other way and about 200m long. I started at the bottom and ran my fastest up the steeper way first then walked back down. Then ran up the longer way and walked back down. I did 4 sets for a total of 8 hill runs. Then I ran back home the short way (1 mile) for my cool down. It felt good to do some hill work. It's been a long time since I've done any. Total run 5 miles

| Tuesday Track Night Met Jim and Jeff at the track tonight. There was a stiff wind on finishing straight away tonight. We warmed for a mile and then started into our 800 meter repeats with 400m recovery jogs. 2:55, 2:56, 2:53, 2:51, 2:54, 2:54, 2:52, 2:50 Looks like we averaged around 2:50 on our recovery jogs. Jim wasn't feeling to good tonight and dropped out after the 3rd repeat. On the last two my stomach was a bit queasy and on the last one I thought about letting Jeff run away from me, but decided I needed to be more mentally tough than that and ended up pushing him to the finish. I think he will definitely go sub 3 on his debut marathon next month. | |

Since I won't be here for track work tomorrow with Jeff and Jim, I decided to do some hill work today. 2 mile warm up followed by 10 hill sprints with 10 walks back down totalling 2 miles then 1 mile cool down. About half way through I started getting a bit light headed at the end of each hill sprint. I never puked though. :)
My familly is heading to Flagstaff for the rest of the week. I don't know why we are leaving this beautiful low to mid 60 degree weather to go freeze our bibies off in Flagstaff. I'll try and get in a few runs, but who knows. |

5 miles again in Flagstaff
I ran each day I was in Flagstaff this week. Wednesday morning I ran early and it was 12 degrees. My fingers were in pain by the time I got home, but the rest of me wasn't too bad even with shorts on. The next morning I wore heavier gloves and running tights and was very comfortable. The next two days I ran a bit latter in the morning and it was rather plesant. The 7000 foot altitude bothered me less than I thought it would. I was a bit slower than I usually am here at 500 feet in Havasu, but my lungs felt fine. It's good to be back here in nice warm Havasu.
Happy New Year every one. |
