Mid 4

Blasting through the night shift logging an 8Ker this morning on my  meal break.    Been eating crap this week.  Up at 5pm had pancakes / oj / coffee then at work it was a box of smarties / areo bar / sour cream and onion chips all washed down with a coke ...yikes!   OK ,   now its time for dinner ,  its a beef/vegi/rice stir fry followed up with a Tims "Greek Yogurt" ... lots of sugar but lots of good too!  

Mid 3 another +1

7K at a mostly 5:00 pace with a 0.2K  4:45 faartlek at 4,5 and 6K mark.    Mentally going longer on the treadmill is easier then the mundane 5Ker!

Plus One

Mid 2 and that means another run at 4am or there abouts.   Logged 6K this morning ,  one more then yesterday.

Cold Turkey

First Mid tonight and a 5Ker logged at 3:30 am.   Like I really felt like doing it ...NOT!   HR was lower by about 10 BPM maxing out at 140 during the 4:45 Fartlek at 4K.  3.5 more hours to go then its off to bed!  

Snow Shoe Trail Run Monday

 Had 4 days off running doing a family Ski Trip to Tremblant...didn't even bring my running shoes and never really gave it a thought!    Alpine Skiing is and Isometric Sport so I am not really sure how that fits in as cross training.   Yesterday I suited up and headed out for a -12C Snow Shoe Run.   There is close to a metre of new white stuff over the past week and a bit so I knew that breaking trial would be tough so I threw on my HR monitor....

First couple of laps were grueling then things started to improve a bit.  After 5 laps things improved even more and  the HR continued to drop .   The rise at the end of the run was a result of " running " the entire last lap.  

Logged a total of 6.8 kms in 1hr29min .... rather slow but what a workout.   I find it amusing that the HR was higher at the beginning and lower towards the end.  

All the stats below ....

Lunch ...again

Just wrapped up a short work week heading to Tremblant tomorrow.  Started the vacation with a little 5Ker on the Treadmill at the end of my shift.  Trading in the running shoes for skis the next 4 days

Lunch Run

5K with a long leed up to a 5:00 pace this eve on my meal break.  I have an Ultra Hangover... felt great yesterday but have a  DTF ( delayed tired feeling ) today.    Nothing particularity wrong just feeling a bit tired.
