Reminded myself again why I don't do doubles. My six-miler last night ended at 8 p.m. or so. Ten hours later, I'm back out doing a 12-miler. And it's 70 degrees with 100% humidity on the first Sunday in January????? Cold front with a nice breeze finally moved in, after I'd already run nine or ten miles, but by then I was already drained. Humidity and I just do not get along; same with me and doubles, even if there happens to be a midnight between the first half and the second half. But I got my 12.33 in, and actually felt up to putting in a decent kick in the last few miles (being downhill helped). Total time, including more Gallowalking than I would have liked, 2:08 for almost 20K.
I have one week to go on Pfitz' five-week post-marathon recovery program. That leaves 20 weeks to Newport, if that's where I'm going to run. So I'll base build for two weeks, then start Pfitz 18/70. Unless my new edition of Pfitz arrives by then, in which case I may start on 18/85. We'll see what it looks like. |
