Mon 2/13 - Switched today's scheduled long run to Tuesday, with pending snow on the way. 4 miles steady for warm-up. Drills & 4 strides. 3 mile tempo run on track - 5:13, 5:17, 5:16. Felt very relaxed and smooth, but still a tough run. Could have gone at least another mile or two. 2 mile cool-down. Leg exercises after. Temps - mid 30's/mid 20's feels like. (9 miles)
Tues 2/14 -Kind of a hodge-podge of running today. Didn't get too much accomplished other than miles, but coaching comes first. Got in 2 miles before practice, then totaled about 10 miles with the distance crew during their long run day between running ahead a bit and back tracking to check the pack. Hit a few 6:30's-6:40's at times, but slowed and waited at intersections at times. Last 4 with Tess and Ellen - 7:15 to 6:55. (12 miles total)
Wed 2/15 - 4 miles steady solo on track (24:22) / 3 miles easy with girls. Drills & Hurdles. 16 x 100m - 4:04.7. 2 miles easy cool-down. Arm weights. (10 miles)
Thur 2/16 - Long run through Deer Grove East & West. To East (1x 3 mile path loop), then headed through West on road and exiting at Dundee and Quentin. Came back on bike path. Sub 6:20 to low 6:00 most of the way. Last 4 miles - 5:50, 5:40, 5:35, 5:30. 12 miles in sub 1:15. 3 miles with girls after school. (15 miles total)
Fri 2/17 - Steady run around frontage to Twin Lakes and back (7 miles). Drills and strides on turf. (8 miles)
Saturday 2/18 - 5 easy before DGN meet. (5 miles)
Sunday 2/19 - Took day off (only 4th of 2012) Really tired after Thursday night parent night, SCE meet friday, & DGN meet Saturday. (0 miles)
Total for week - 59 miles. Disappointed I didn't get over 60 for week. Estimated I worked over 60 hours this week (not counting 1:30 of commute time each day), just tough to get in the miles I want, spend time with family, and get the necessary rest I need to run well. Just have to realize some weeks will be much tougher than others.
