Tuesday: I ran!

9 miles / 59 minutes with Alex on trails in the Fells Reservation. Got good and lost for a while there before winding back around to the car. Alex hasn't run consistently for about 3 weeks, but he's still got wheels. I'm in for a heck of a summer at this rate!

Monday, 6/10

10 miles on trails with Benny Jenkins with some light core after. Felt great. PF aggravated to start but felt fair by the mid-point of the run and almost pain free Tuesday morning, so seeing consistent improvement there. I was outside with kids for the last 3 periods of the day on Monday playing games and running around, so this was actually a pretty big day considering the overall scope of my training right now.

Not racing Hollis on Thursday. Given some alignment issues (hip, PF) and lack of training, the odds of derailing the bit of progress I've made in the past couple weeks seem too great. I'm disappointed to miss a GP race, but I have high hopes for summer racing and a Fall marathon. Going to get on the bike soon and add some minimal impact training to the schedule as I build back up with the running miles.

Last day of school today. Can't believe it! I'll be back next year with some new responsibilities and I'm excited for the next leg of the journey. My brother moves in with me for the summer before heading off to Russia for the year beginning in September, so I'll have a great training partner for the next 12 weeks. Can't wait!

Tuesday and Wednesday

Tuesday: 7 miles easy

Wednesday: 6 x (400m at tempo, 10 pushups, 100m stride, 20 mountain climbers, 100m stride, 10 squat jumps, 100m stride, 20 v ups, 100m)

Monday:

10 miles with 4x100 strides and a bunch of drills and strength exercises at the track. Sluggish to start and sluggish to finish, but so glad I put some miles in.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday

F: 0
S: 0

Real exciting stuff!!

Thursday

30 minutes of active core and drills but nothing else. Pretty sore in the upper hamstrings and hip flexer.

Wednesday

At this point, I'm continuing the blog out of habit and in an effort to maintain some consistency while still taking some time down. Work is going to be extra hectic for another two weeks, but then I'll be in the clear. Very hungry to train right now, so hopefully soon I can jump into some real miles intelligently and avoid injury. I'll be looking to spend a decent amount of time in the Whites on some serious endurance runs. Can't wait!

Wednesday: 0 miles.

Tuesday

1 hour of capture the flag going hard. PF was sore by the end. Kids have gotten a lot faster compared with the beginning of the year.

Followed that up with about 20 minutes of trail running. Had planned on going 60 minutes but the PF was a little too irritated and I didn't feel like pushing anything.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday

Friday: 70 minutes on trails.
Saturday: 0. Not even a crunch.
Sunday: 65 minutes on trails.
Monday: 65 minutes on trails.

Seeing a pattern? Let's hope it continues this week!!
