Bounus Run

Was scheduled to work at 6:00 am today but when I arrived there was 3 on shift which is normal but not allot going on. I took advantage of having a couple of extra hours and went for a 16K run before 08:00 am.

Its been quite the day , up at 3:45am , and hour in the hot tub, big giant breakfast and then a 90 minute run all before I normally start my day! Its a beautiful winter day and I am thinking about skiing this afternoon.

This morning was a great test of running with food in the tummy. Less then 60 minutes before I ran I had an English Muffin with PB, Oatmeal with Brown Sugar, Grapefruit with Brown Sugar , a large OJ and two Large Coffees. I only had a slight cramp in the lower right abdomen that disappeared as quickly as it started.

Recovery Run+

Hit the gym this afternoon. Did an upper body weight routine then a 5K run at a 5:30 pace. Definitely felt yesterdays Run and Ski. Legs were tired and it felt awkward until I had a couple of Ks behind me!

"MT" long run...not an LSD.

Wasn't sure when or exactly what I would be running this weekend but I knew there would be one long one! Did a 31K Run, 30K of it at Marathon 5:00 pace. In 2.5 hours I had two 750ml bottles of GU Brew and a few gummies. I didn't have any Eload Caps So I kind of thought I may cramp in the mid 20s but it didn't happen. There was a little bit of muscle burn past 20K but nothing too bad. When I was done running I went Skiing at Blue for 5 hours. Another perfect weekend day!

Tempo Tuesday

Great start to March Running , 7K done at lunch. 6K were at a 4:30 pace followed by a 1K cool down. Mentally going into the tempo run its hard but once I get going I really like it and the way I feel afterwards is totally amazing!
