Training Log 3/19/17 - 3/25/17

Sunday 3/19 - Rest

Monday 3/20 - 6 miles at the hamster track.

Tuesday 3/21 - 7.3 miles. Went to Run Club and did their workout - 2 mile warm up, then 3:00 fast, 2:00 recovery jog, 2:00 fast, 2:00 recovery jog, 1:00 fast, 2:00 recovery jog X 3, then a cool down run back to the Runner's Forum store where we started. Averaged 9:06 pace for all of it.

Wednesday 3/22 - Zero miles. Planned to get a swim in but the day got away from me.

Thursday 3/23 - 5 miles on the county road. I decided I have definitely gotten soft from running on the Monon where it is flat, shady, and mostly protected from the wind. The roads by my house are none of these. Original plan was to run 10 miles and see how long I could hold an 8:30 pace...
Mile 1 - 8:13. I was really surprised and I really was trying to hold myself back the second 800.
Mile 2 - 8:20. Still trying to slow myself down.
Mile 3 - 8:28. Suddenly it got hard. It was a real struggle to stay under 8:30 and I just didn't feel like running anymore.
I jogged the rest of the 2 miles back home feeling a bit defeated but overall HOT and TIRED. I'll work on pace another day.

Friday 3/24 - Zero miles. Got up at 3:00 am so we could get on a 5:45 am flight to Puerto Rico for Spring Break.

Saturday 3/25 - 4 miles in 34:10 on the treadmill, which comes to about 8:33 a mile. Found the fitness center at the condo we are staying in for the week.

22.3 miles this week.
