It’s the start of another training week. I feel good about last week’s efforts. I got in all my scheduled training runs and a couple crossfit WODs. Honestly it felt great to run on auto mode so to speak.
My training plan mandated five runs – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. No questions about it. I just ran. Surprisingly it was not that bad. I have been taking a day off between runs and I expected a little backlash from my body.
I thought my 22K run on Saturday would hurt. Actually I felt better on this run than I did on the 18K that I ran with Laura a couple weeks ago. Weird how some runs feel awesome and others just simply suck. Consistency pays off!
My training plan called for 32K on Saturday but I downsized because my right leg has been giving me grief. Besides I didn’t think it was smart to jump from 18K to 32K in a week. I ran in the middle of the afternoon after a traumatic episode in the kitchen. I’ll fill you in on that mishap in a post later this week.
Laura joined me from a 10K on Sunday. It was great to have some company because my legs definitely were feeling the effects of the week’s mileage. That’s fine. Training isn’t supposed to be easy, right?
I’ve been looking for my training log from 2013. I want to see what kind of mileage that I covered while training for Blackfoot. I mistakenly delete the data on my old Garmin. Not that it matters because it was recently stolen from my friend’s car. Grrrr ….
