afternoon 6.25

Foremaster loop from PVHS. Made it a Tempo run after a two mile warm up. Ran mile 3 in 6:00, mile 4 in 5:48, and mile 5 in 5:59. Then cooled it down on mile 6 back up to the school at 7:12. Felt good. Didn't have to push too hard to get the times, but working it enough.

evening 4

Warm Springs out and back. Trying to get all runs at or under 7 minute miles. So I eased into it and then just ran with a little effort, but not enough that it killed me, and the average was at 6:48.

morning 6

a little worried about running in the morning again, that's when the PF hurts the worst. But it felt okay. I do have a bit of a pain just below the outside bone of my right ankle. It almost feels bruised, but kind of a stabbing pain (if anyone has a clue what this might be let me know). Ran the dogpound run from home. Went okay on the downhill sections, but a little tired on the uphill, so I just went with it. 7:12 ave.

afternoon 6

3x1600 repeats with 1 1/2 mile warm-up and 1/2 mile (5:00 ish minute) jog between each and cool-down

1 - 5:24 felt very good at first then at 800 left hamstring really tightened up.

2 - 5:19 was worried about hammy but it had loosened up on the jog. Held the pace better on lap 3 than before.

3 - 5:19 really had to strain to move it the first two laps (I thought I might only get an 800 in). But when you get to that point you can coax yourself into finishing, and the legs kept moving although it might have been ugly.

I was pleased with the workout and hit the times I wanted.

After I did weights

my regular routine (2 x per week)

bench, squats, lat pulls, abs, leg extensions and curls, calves, butterflies

just 2 sets of 10 instead of 3 sets since it was my first day lifting in a month.

afternoon 5

Ran the mall-extended run from PVHS. It was a windy day and I knew that would mess with my workout. Warmed up a mile in 7:00 ish and then hit the next three at or just under 6:30. With the wind helping it was pretty easy. The fifth mile was uphill and into a hard wind, so I just ran it on in at about 7:15.

evening 4

Ran the WarmSprings run. Worried at first that I wouldn't hit the 6:30 ave. I am now training for on "easy runs". At first the 6:30 guy built a few hundred foot lead as I warmed up, but through mile 2 and 3 I caught him and put a few hundred feet lead on him and then just kept it to maintain a 6:30 pace. Finished averaging 6:24. Right in the neighborhood of where I want to be.

My ankle is still giving me a little trouble, and a new pain came up from my mile repeats - a little bit of tenderness on the muscle area of my right shin. I've had this before and it iced down pretty good each time. But yesterday it hanged on a little. So I will watch it for a little while.

Club run up a monster of a hill (Webb Hill). I really didn't want/or have the energy to push up the hill. But I enjoyed the rest of the run. Even with the bruising hill, the overall ave. of the run was 7:25 and most miles before and the 2 1/4 after were right at, or just below, 6:30 for me.

Tried a new tie for my shoelaces that is supposed to take pressure of the tendons of the ankle. The sore area didn't hurt at all. But it did wake me up a few times at night with shots of pain.

Shin felt great with only a little tendernous after the run. Iced it down as well as my PF which I always do morning, night and post run.

Fartlek run on Washington Parkway extended down to telegraph street. Warmed up .75 with a 6:50 pace (thought I was going a little slower). Then during the next few miles fartleked .1, .2, .3, .2, .1 distances at VO2 Max speed. Felt good. part of 2nd and 3rd mile were slow up a long hill. Overall average was right at 6:30.

Then weights

Ran with club from Dixie Center on what I'll call the Bloomington loop. Felt good. Except for the cold (feel sorry for you up north guys). Clyde and I extended the run to the 12.5 mark and ran real well together. I like training with him because we can just chat but still really get a good workout in because he likes to go for it. Overall ave. was 6:50 (thrown off a bit by the first mile in 8:10). But that is right were I want those long runs to be.

A good week. I like my plan of keeping the mileage a little lower right now and working on a quicker goal pace. It scared me at first, but after hitting it for a week, I think it is going to work out well.

Decided against running the Valley of Fire. I want to keep training through the winter for a good 1/2 at Painter's and not have the running interupted for those few weeks of recovery.
