As evidenced by the post title its been a little while. We'll see what I can remember. If anyone is left reading this(including me) you will know I hurt my groin a little bit 2ish weeks ago. So it got better and then I rehurt it a little bit on some strides last week. Ive been doing a good job of being careful generally. So last week was a low week of 36 miles which is fine.
This week lets see- Sunday did 7 at trail with Darin- around 730 pace which is nice slowly coming down away from the 8 stuff. I felt fine running wise pretty much the whole way- I was going to do 10 that day but my groin(left side btw) was slowly getting better- on that run it didnt hurt it just felt tired so I sopped which was def smart.
Monday was two runs 5 and 3.5 with Merritt in the am
Tuesday I did a wo. I got like really low sleep for 2 days before it AND I had been sweating like a proud Persian pig in a pink parka in a Pakistani peatwave(too tired heh). But seriously its like after every run i jumped in the pool. Hmph- so hard to keep up on hydration.
We did 2 wu then it was supposed to be 4x1600 st ev 7:15. Btw an aside the new Franklin track is awesome! Very soft ill def be doing wos there for sure- that should help. So anyway did the first one in 3:00/3:07- 6:07- a bit too hard. Started at 7:30 and tried to trudge tiredly etc etc lol- the point was did a 1200 and was very tired so stopped 4:37. Took approx 3 min rest then did 800 in 3:00/3:00 rest/800 in 2:54. Rested and was going to do 400 to finish 3 miles but was dizzy and tired so stopped- annoying but no worries. I can control sleep and have to do best I can on hydration- of course im tired right now as no nap today since i went to nicks throwing meet(mild fun) so i have to go to bed early. But again anyway that wo wasnt super annoying cuz i knew i was tired but i have to correct the problems and not think im super esp as im getting older. Also i def kind of do it as an extra challenge to see if I can do it which is def stupid lol- its hard enough as it is.
Anyway wed did some good drinking and did two runs 5+3- this is the day i did the strides since my groin was feeling better- on the first one I said to emily "youre the only person I can beat in strides now" which I felt a little bad about immediately. Then I got a quick commupence on the next one when I felt a little twinge- so I wisely only did 2 more rather than 6 more.
Thursday took it easy one run I think of 5.
Friday did an am run w Merritt from her house since I couldnt decide whether to go to Oakland Mills or not. So 3 for that. Then in afternoon I decided not to go which was fine. Instead did 1.5 Wu at McD thn 2 loops- felt quite good right away the hill was like 1:16 t the beginning. So it was 7:54/7:41 for the two loops for 15:35- that is def solid im back to where I was last year and before a little- it was easy on first loop and moderate on second. The weather of cooler and drier obv helps but ill take it def so that made me feel better.
Today we did easy 4.5 and then as i wrote i went to nicks meet. Actually did some good helping this year heh. Now im tired im going to santonis and then eat and bed. Idk if the miles on this post add up to 50 but the week was 50 in 11 runs. Next week try for 55 in 11 runs.
Next week is 10 tomorrow(still easy), wed 8x800,fri 3 miles steady plus 8x40 sec steady on hill(this should be like 620-640 pace as well for leg and ab strengthening). That reminds me ive actually started 2x20 sec plank per day to see if that helps. Slowly go up and try to stay consistent.
Oh Job 38:11 is a Fantastic! back of T shirt logo. I saw it on The Davinci Code and thought of it when the nun quotes it. "Hitherto shalt thou come,and No Further!" Lol ill prob get that at some point if I rememeber. Ok enough for now.
