Tempo Tuesday

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday it was run for ever, today it was when will it be over. Managed to log 10K , 1K ramp up to a 4:30 pace then it was 7K at a 4:30 pace then a 2K cool down. Starting the run I felt tired after a stress filled night and 2 gravol to get to sleep... groin was tender too. 3K in I got that insulin spike feeling. I had a few too many yogurt covered almonds .. I think there was a ton of sugar in the "Yogurt" coating. Sort of ran through the bad feeling at around 6K then it felt a little more OK. Pulled the plug at 8K ramping down 0.3 kmh every 100m until I got to a 6:00 pace.

Feeling great ...

I expected that it would be tough getting the miles in over Christmas and I was right. The Skiing on Xmas Eve and Xmas Day really agreed with me. Legs and core felt great doing today's lunch run. Logged 9.8K mostly at a 5:00 pace.

Santa came early



Got an early gift thanks to Mother Nature. Just a skiff of snow and a solidly frozen ground made it an easy choice to hit the trail for today's run. Logged 11.3K at an avg 6:44 pace. Was running on fresh legs today, full 48 hours off! Yesterday I was going to hit the gym at lunch but when I was leaving for work I spilled some tomato sauce on my gym stuff....went back to the house to swap clothes but ended up leaving the shorts behind.....just the way it goes sometimes but the rest day was long over due. 2nd gift of the day will be an evening at Blue ...heading out this afternoon.

Run after work

Worked through lunch today. Left a 3:15 in Lieu of lunch and headed to the gym but the treadmill was in use so I headed home. Thought about taking it outside but jumped on the treadmill instead. Set off to do 12-14 K and ended up logging 18K. First 5K was spent ramping up from a 6:00 pace to a 5:00 pace the I did 10K at a 5:00 pace and then a 3K real gradual cool down. Entertained myself by watching "U2 360 at the Rose Bowl" ... it was very cool.
