18 km on the treadmill today. First hour sucked then I got into it. Held the pace at or below 6:00 today last weeks speed work tweaked the left knee a bit. Maybe next weekend I can take it outside for close to a 3 hour run ...ever so slowly building more volume.
5 km on the treadmill at work today. Intended to do another trail run yesterday but I just ran out of time.
Weight in 181 lbs ...still on the winter heavy side but trending lower.
Or I should say not far. Just two little trail runs , Tuesday was 6 laps / 5.6 km with Dax. It was cold overnight so the snow froze solid there was no problem staying on top. The weather was just plain nasty on Wednesday so I called it a rest day. Thursday was warm , 8C so it was messy. Left the dog at home and did 7 laps on teh backyard trail good for 6.8 km. Walked the first lap to check out the conditions and then walked the last lap a good cool down. There was a little bit of post holing going on and a pretty uneven surface but otherwise OK being 95% snow covered. It was pretty slow going at around 10 min pace when I was running. A good workout none the less.
Hit the gym at 5am , started to run but the bones were rattling so I walked 5 km instead. It was nice.
18 km on my meal break today. First 17 km were at a sub 6:00 pace bobbed between 5:27 and a 6:00 pace. I actually found the 5:27 pace easier ... a different rhythm!
