...Which is code for... I skipped a lot of running last week and it took me forever to finish this Blog.
Last week did not fare well for my training schedule. Monday, I had just returned from the States and skipped my 3-mile run. Honestly, I probably could have done the run and it probably would have significantly helped with my jet lag. But, I babied myself a bit and did not get out there.
The rest of my week was a bit gummed up with my moving preparations so I was forced to make some cuts.
So my return to running for last week was Tuesday's 9-miler. As you can probably imagine I was feeling a little rusty, but managed to get through it with out too much heartache. I also managed to log-in Wednesday's 4-miler and Friday's 9-miler.
Really, this makes my work-week mileage 22 miles, which isn't so bad, but I skipped Thursday's Speedwork session. My intended work-out was meant to be five 800-meter intervals at a 10k pace. Skipping speed work is bad. I probably would have been better off sacrificing one of the 9-mile runs or the 4-miler to keep making gains in speed. However, I really hate that speedwork.
Saturday's 12-mile run was nothing special. Thankfully the weather was tolerable and I just knocked it out and moved on with my day.
Basically, last week's running was a bit blase. My body clock is a bit disturbed and I'm just trying to tic over until I find a rhythm again. Most likely that will be when I'm back in North Carolina permanently! I'm just a short 20 days away as of today (Wednesday) and I really can't wait! I'm so looking forward to the upcoming changes in my life!
Next week's training looks a little like this:
M-3; Tu-9; W-4; Th-5x800; Fri-9; Sa-19
