Mon 2/20 - President's Day. 9:00am practice. 3 miles warm-up & drills. Squeezed in Tempo 1k repeats while girls did recovery reps. 3:21, 3:18. 3;17. 3:18, 3:14, 3:12 (5:20-5:10 mile pace) with :60-75 jog rest. About the same pace I ran 3 mile tempo last week and honestly felt much tougher. Just goes to show that days off are not all they are cracked up to be. Sometimes coming back after days off you feel worse than if you just kept your body in that rhythm of running everyday. Looking back I ran steady on Friday, really easy on Sat, nothing on Sun and today seemed like a shock to the system. 2 mile cool-down on turf. Arm weights. (8 miles).
Tues 2/21 - 6.75 with Sheehan before practice (mid-to-low 6:00 pace). 2.5 miles to Peacock Hills. 3x long, 3x entry, 3x curve, 3x Hayleys. (around 2.25 miles) Hard shift half way up. 2.5 back to school. (14 miles total)
Wed 2/22 - 5 miles with Sheehan before practice. Then 8 miles with girls as part of their long run. Abs and push-ups. Left foot and lower side of leg a bit sore from hills. (13 miles total)
Thur 2/23 - Kind of a mess today. Big bad snow hit around 2:00 and started covering everything fast. Went out and ran 4 miles to assess the damage before practice and not nice enough to go outside. Did 20 min warm-up in halls, 10 min of drills, 8 x strides, then 5 min cool-down. Then to pool for 30 min workout. Lower leg still pretty tight. (est. 8.5 miles for day)
Fri 2/24 - Pre-meet for team, so got in some extra running today. 3.5 Lindberg loop with Sheehan, then got in another 6 miles as part of girls running for the day. Did not run hard, as leg was very sore. Iced, ibuprofen and rock tape. (9.5 miles)
Sat 2/25 - Got in a few miles on the track before Bolingbrook dual with Quick, Sheehan and the boys. Leg felt OK, but not great. (around 3.5 miles)
Sun 2/26 - Took the day off to give my leg a days rest. Felt much better, but hoped the extra day gives me a good upcoming week. (0 miles)
Miles for week = 55.5 miles total. Still a decent week considering I had to back off over weekend due to sore leg. Leg feeling much better and hope to not miss much this coming week. We'll see.
