Describe Your Running Today, Part II

So... only got in 3 miles today. Sore throat, feels like I could have a fever... so yeah. Lots of sleep tonight and hoping for the best tomorrow. Did get my 18 in yesterday, 90 on last week. Was a new high for me.

Nice job Hmp.

AM: 45 minutes with the Bride (as driske would say), with shoes, it has been raining for a week.

PM: light warmup, the 5x1000m in the mud at 3:45, 2 mins rest, felt fluid, almost easy.

the point could be wrote:

Mods: if possible can you tell us if DYRT III was taken down? Any chance to get the 15 odd posts on part III grafted onto this original thread?

I am not in a position to answer that question at this time. However, I will say that anything is possible! :-)

As usual, clearer heads have prevailed and the illustrious DYRT II thread lives on. Good stuff!

Keep up the good work, all!

Today

AM - 40 mins with Tonino, just after delivering kids at school.

(brutal morning session clearing some clogged kitchen plumbing.)

PM (1300) - 18x100m warmup routine barefoot on track. Then 23 minutes of running 200m at :45, then recovery 200m; then 200m at :52, then recovery 200m. Found myself going at :49 for a couple of the 52s, but otherwise it was a good sensation workout.

bike commute to work, will bike home.

I decided that this week is going to be a bit of a down week.

Today was a 2 and change mile warm up, 4 mile "tempo" on the track, and 2 mile c/d.

"Tempo" was probably a little bit harder than a tempo should be, but not as hard as I could have gone. 20:52 was the time. I was pretty happy with it, because it is about a minute faster than I was doing on similar effort runs about 2.5 months ago.

Did not run today due to pain in my lowerleg/ankle from stress fracture recovery. Had three good weeks and maybe I pushed it too early.

7AM. 33 mins easy running along the Goulbourn River bike path before work then jumped in the river and got changed in the bushes.

7PM. 63 mins solid running out along the McIvor Creek and then onto the golf course. Up and down fairways and also a lap of the harness track. Probably 200- 300 kangaroos on the golf course tonight. Returned with a good strong pace along the creek. Probably close to 14kms total and 20 plus for the day.

You "mopak" are following in the footsteps of 2 incredibly great master's athlete's. Foster and Turnbull. Kudos.

3rd night in a row of wimping out on the evening run. I can't seem to mount the mental hurdle of going back out into single digit temps after working out there all day.

Looking forward to some X-C skiing this weekend.

no run today. race tommorow.

And like Foster and Turnbull I have days off. Today was a big zero day, no bike and no run. I did get out for a brisk walk tonight but had just eaten a big meal and didn't feel like running.

Time trial since I'm missing our opening meet:

One 600m (28/28/?), full recovery, one 400m (23/?).

yesterday: check up with physiotherapist. Everything aok. Noticed: slightly better overall muscle tone;some tightness on my right upper leg causing the left to strain a little at the knee. Rest day and bike commutetoday:Rain and more rain.bought fish in the morningthen just ran errands all day.Trammed into work. Energy absorption mode driske: u makin me feel wimpy!

Yesterday - 9/4 double.

Today - 3/7 double. Have to be careful. Trying to have this week be a down week, its hard on me...

didn't run again today

today: kids athletics, awesome. Practiced running in-lane with two ribbons (me at the front other coach at back) and the kids in between. Was sort of like a "train" and then every 50 meters or so we lift the ribbons and they ran by themselves. Kids looked pleased.

yesterday: rest

hoping to go for a nice longish one tomorrow.

today: 80 mins total int he park, with shoes (coldish), last 6km progression from 4:30 to 3:57 per km.

15 miles on snow covered trails. Beautiful day, felt some freedom that I needed. Part of what I love so much about this sport.

12 miles on asphalt trail in the snow and rain. 7:15/mile for first 6, 6:35 for next 6. Felt extremely refreshing to be running outside.

Family cycle and picnic. The clunker is always a good workout.
