January 2018 Running Challenge

Wore my regular shoes and ended up falling on ice. Ugh. My hand is the only thing that's still bothering me, so at least I can still run

Now all I have left to do is pack, go for an airplane ride, and then go for a nice, relaxing (haha!) 42.2km long run on Sunday with a bunch of other people, in a nicer climate than I trained in. The goal is to have fun and enjoy the run!

To make that show up, you need to add IMG tags around it.

Did a quick 3.2 this morning. Upon returning home I noticed that a car parked next to my house had been broken into but thankfully this time it wasn’t mine. At first I didn’t feel bad cuz the person who drives it is a dick but I’ve had mine broken into twice so I know how much it sucks.

January goal: Keep kicking at Zumbro training

1/18- REST
1/19- 6.2
1/20= 14
1/21- REST
1/22- 7.3

Total: 113.1

Today's notes: After 2 days off in a row (that was weird) I was ready to go today. Assignment was 6x2:30 hill repeats with recovery being whatever it took to easy jog back to the bottom. Got up at 0415 and was running right around 0435. I took my warm up a little slower and only got in like 2.08 miles, but it's the warm up, so who cares, right?

Reps went well. I averaged 0.34 miles per 2:30 rep, and was pretty happy with that, as it was like 7:28 pace. I'm getting better at having a consistent pace during the reps. Average pace was only like 10sec different than best pace according to my garmin. Smoother transitions are helping it, I think. Clear/dry roads made me feel like I was cheating.

This run was supposed to be ha harder run, but I gave it like a 7/10 since coach asks for a rating, Starting to think I needed to call it a 6, since it really didn't seem all that hard, but that could just be the coffee talking. Also, at this point, if my intervals get any longer in duration, I'm going to have to find a different hill, I'm just about cresting at this point.

Have a Runderful day!

2018 races

January goal - 35 miles

1/3 - 1.5 miles - put on my new fleece lined pants a couple of shirts, jacket, new buff & gloves and hit the street. It was 25 degrees. Not too bad, think i'll try it again tonight.
1/6 - 6.5 only 25 degrees, but great run. I can't believe how much more I like running in the cold than the heat.
1/7 - 2.5 warmer, 50 degrees, but a cool wind and I didn't bundle up enough for the first part.
1/9 - 2.0 miles
1/20 - 6.5 Spent a week resting my foot. Did just fine, and no after effects to the run.
Bought a new pair of running shoes, thought maybe getting back to rotating would be helpful. I know I tend to roll out when I run, so bought some that are supposed to help with that (who knows).

total so far - 19

1/4 - 5.1 treadmill miles at Trek Class, then upper body weights.
1/5 - Unplanned rest day.
1/6 - 4 treadmill miles, then upper body weights.

1/8 - 4.8 miles. First outdoor run in a while. Almost got hit by cars twice...people are stupid.
1/9 - Rest day.
1/10 - 5 miles outside...woot!
1/11 - Snow day (really?!?). Stayed home with kids, snuck to Y in late afternoon for 4 treadmill miles and some weights.
1/12 - Really sore in the low back, hips and knees. Gonna wait and see.
1/13 - 5 treadmill miles. Didn't hurt to run, but the rest of the day was very sore / stiff.

1/21 - 10.5 miles on stationary bike and upper body weights.
1/22 - Rest day.

Congrats to those who ran and got wanted results - keep it up! And ouch for injured and sick - get well soon!

Was supposed to run on Sunday, but it was raining too much, didn't feel like getting soaked within 500 meters after starting. So went for a run yesterday, assignment was 30 minutes in easy HR zone (135-147 for me). Which resulted in a ridiculous pace of 9'20"/km (15'01"/mile). But at least I ran the whole time. Before I'd go over the limit even with that pace, so that's definitely an improvement. Getting better at running slower.

January goal: 30km
January 7 - 3.29/2.04 - 3.29/2.04
January 9 - 3.44/2.14 - 7.73/4.18
January 12 - 3.48/2.16 - 11.21/6.34
January 14 - 3.47/2.16 - 14.68/8.5
January 16 - 3.47/2.16 - 18.15/10.66
January 18 - 3.52/2.19 - 21.67/12.85
January 22 - 3.22/2.00 - 24.89/14.85

Felt so damn good this morning I had to run another 90 second interval and kicked up the mph another .5. I loved how that felt, even though I was out of breath! And that led to spontaneous smiling and tears; I suppose because it just feels so good to *finally* DO what I've wanted to DO and not spend my life sitting on the couch surfing Facebook feeling envious of everyone else. No one can stop me now! Have a great day everyone!
