Afternoon Run

Recovered better from my LSD this week.. I am making slow progress getting back to where I was mid December. With the cold weather outside the treadmill next to the wood stove was a rather warm place to be running today. Geared up to a 5:30 pace over the first 2K but had to back down to a 6 min pace at 5K due to overheating. Did my second very warm 5K at a 6:00 pace for a total of 10K is an hour.

LSD Run

OK, didn't head outdoors today in fear of getting run down and then sick so I did the easy alternative. I headed to the basement and jumped on my treadmill for a 3 hour run. Was aiming to complete 30K but only managed 29. I was on target at the 2 hour mark hitting a little over 21K but then the wheels fell off in the last hour and it was like finishing a tough 50Ker! One thing I was lacking was my Eload Caps ...probably would have helped in the last hour and burring about 800 calories and hour I was getting near the end of my easy fuel reserves. I am back on track but it really seems allot harder now. I am sure after I log a few more Ks things should get a little easier. Next week I will hit 30+ Ks!

Not Running

Was going to do the Frosty Trail 3 or 6 hour run today but I was feeling a little under the weather last night so I opted out! I am feeling better today and regretting my decision now so I am about to jump on the treadmill for a Run.

Yesterday I did a 4K run during a late lunch, 5:30 pace.

Sneaking it in ...

Snuck in a little 6K run before dinner tonight. 4K at a 5:30 pace , 1K at a 5;00 pace followed by a 1K cool down.

Tempo Tuesday

6K done at lunch , 5K at a 4:30 pace followed by a 1K cool down. It always amazes me how cool it is to actually run. At first it seems rather jarring but after getting use to it the tempo is rather relaxing. I think I could do a sub 45min 10K today , always a good mental benchmark for me.

Lunch Run

5K at a 5:30 pace done at lunch. I didn't feel like it after yesterday long run but a K in it felt great. Weighed in today at 170.6 lbs, I have lost around 12-13 lbs since I became ill before Christmas. I feel really tired today , lazy tired but in a good sort of way. Will tomorrow be a tempo Tuesday?????

2hours33minutes

25K LSD done on the treadmill at home today. Passed the time watching music videos. The start was slow but I managed the first 20K at an avg 6:00 pace. I thought of slowing it down at 20K but decided to pick it up to a 5:30 pace for 3K before starting a 2K cool down. I feel like I am starting to rebound after being ill . The big difference now is that the run today seemed allot harder then it was prior to getting sick. Next weeks LSD in on Saturday, I am signed up for the Frosty 6 Hour but I will be satisfied once I hit 30K.
