Hangin' Loose

Week 2 day 1 14, 14, 10, 10 20 Going to try and get all 3 days of push-ups this week. Mon Wen Fri

30 min bike ride with the wife.  Nice and easy pace.  Wife is recovering well.  And the temps were pretty good.  Sprinkled on us a tiny bit.

Body wasn't into this run at all this morning.  For the first time in a long time there was a debate about running.  And just having that debate made me stay home.  So rest day today.

Feeling really good about my decision to rest yesterday.  I am feeling alot better overall.  And not so worn out.  Still did my pushup this morning too.  My back was starting to feel sore and my left leg was bothering me from maybe over doing it some on Sat.  The field we play on is uneven.

Week 2 day 2 14, 16, 12, 12, 20

PM-  Ride with the wife.  She is recovering well still.  Picked up the pace a slight bit it seems.  Or the lights were just working with us.  Since we finished the ride about 2 mins faster then we did on Mon.  But the big thing is that she felt better at the end of the ride.

TT 29:10

Had to get up a bit ealier for this run to get it all in.  Started my run at 3:30am so I could get in 6 before meeting up with the guys.  This run called for 1 mile warm-up then 10 at 8:00(MP).  What ended up happening is the first mile was a bit faster then I thought it would be and then just tried hitting my paces.  Miles that were a bit fast were slight down and slower would be inclines.  After my first 6 I met up with Eric, Jeremy and JeffC.  The normal crowd.  And we headed out for a 4.7 loop.  First mile was warm-up for them rather slower.  Then picking up the pace to goal pace.  That 2nd mile of that or mile 8 was a down hill and mile 10 was the uphill.  Really was trying to keep that last mile at pace and it just didn't come in.  Feel really good about the run though.  And I just ran a bit farther to get my 11 and shortly after I finished the extra .3 and starting to stretch they were running up.  So turned out great this time.

Decided to run this race the day before.  And wanted to see where I was basically.  Ran it with Marty Black.  This was the first year of the race.  So that made it a bit fun.  We ran part of the course 2 weeks ealier going the other way.  So kind of knew what we were up against.  Miles 1-3 are downhill coming out of Rose Canyon. 4th mile is a flat till about 4.25 and then its a gradual uphill till about 7.5 or so.  At the end up that climb is a mean hill outside of little butterfield canyon.  And then its downhill to Daybreak with a few hills in there.  And a strong crosswind.

Temps were warm at the start and even though it started in a canyon it really isnt much of a canyon.  Just get a downhill run for the first bit.  By the end of it I was getting dehydrated with my mouth being very dry.  I feel bad about having to stop so many times in this race.  And with a goal of 1:35-40 I sure did miss it.  That uphill just took to much out of me.  Also decided to run this one in my racing flats.  Hmm worked out ok I think.  But the ball of my right foot was really sore the rest of the day.
