Monday - 3 miles. Out an back on the W&OD super easy, felt in a funk from a weekend of eating poorly, hard work, and not running. 133hr
Tuesday - 5 miles 150hr on the Lake Fairfax loop. Felt great
Wednesday - 6 miles. mile warm up and cool down with 8x 800 in 3 min with 90 second jog recovery in between.
Thursday - 5 miles. Felt pretty tired actually. 133hr was 90 seconds slower on the route than normal.
Planning to run everyday without days off just to get my body used to it. Thinking I'll make myself run 5miles every evening and then try.....TRY....to incorporate morning runs of 3-5miles. That way all my runs are short and easy but my miles edge up. I'm not much for morning runs, especially in the winter so we'll see how that works out.
I nearly got hit by a car on the way home from work yesterday on my bicycle. A oncoming car turning left into Starbucks turned right into me and I leaned way back and grabbed a healthy handful of breaks. I don't know how I didn't end up on their hood. They saw me and slammed on the gas trying to make it not recognizing how fast I was coming. I ran right up onto their car but didn't crash. Fucker just roared away. I should have gotten the license plate. grrr...
Remember folks....It's my life. I don't want to trade it for you getting your coffee 30seconds faster.
Thank God for those good reflexes.....how about running those 3-5 milers at lunch vs morning? anyway, sounds like a good plan. Noticed you were pretty tired from the 800's, and you didn't even run them as hard as you could. So, when you do get to the point of starting speed work, start with quarters faster, and a kilometer to mile repeats more at 15K kind of pace. Keep at it son...
