Week 2 off to a good start so far.
Mon, 1/9 - Steady run with progression pick-up the last few miles. Ran Deer Grove East loop again...knowing snow is on the way. Felt OK. Lunch didn't cooperate as my stomach was cramping much of the run. 11.5 miles total
Tues, 1/10 - Time to start adding some strength and flexibility exercises to my weekly routine.
4 mile warm-up on roads (6:40 pace) - drills on turf - 1 mile steady on track (6:05) - hurdles/squats/bleachers - 1 mile steady (6:00) - flexibility drills - 1 mile steady on track (5:55)
7 miles total
Wed, 1/11 - 3.5 wu to Peacock Valley (extended trail) - 2 x 1k hill circuit - 1 mile steady - 2x 1k hill circuit - 2.5m cd back to school. Felt pretty sluggish after yesterdays exercises, not real motivated to run hard, but made it through. Side of left foot a bit sore (I think from muddy trails on monday). Hill splits sub :50's, sub :30's, :30. (1:08 total - 10 miles)
Well, had my first hiccup of the 2012 season. I had hopes of getting a good streak of consecutive days going, but it was not to be. I've been fighting a cold and sinus infection since the holidays and it finally took it's toll. Finished the work week well, but had to finally take a break this weekend in an attempt to get healthy.
Thru 1/12 - Snow hit hard today. Not a lot of places to run and really slick out. Left forefoot still a little sore from Monday's muddy trail run. Went 45 min easy with Sheehan (5.5 miles)
Fri 1/13 - Headed out on sole run for 6+ miles steady through town, then hooked up for an easy group run of 3+ miles through snowy Deer Grove. (9.5 miles)
Sat 1/14 - Had ITCCCA clinic all morning and headed straight to birthday party afterward. Decided to take day off to rest foot and primarily to end this cold I've had.
Sun 1/15 - Cold seemed to have worsened. Day off.
Ended week #2 of 2012 with 45 miles. Short of my goal of 55+, but my cold has seemed to subside
