Training Week 84
Day 582 | May 23, 2011: 8 m run + cross
It was too hot on Sunday to do my 8 mile run, so I got up at 4:00 am to do it on Monday before work (I got to try the new reflective vest and LED light I bought for the relay). It was in the low 60s but I was sweaty in a tank top! I really hope I get used to running in the heat this summer. I am totally a cold weather runner, but I need to figure out the heat, since we (kind of) have four seasons here.
My splits were very even! I am pleased with that. That was my goal for this run.
Distance: 8.0 | Start Temp: 62° | End Temp: 63° | Time: 1:17:08 | Avg Pace: 9:38 | 1: 9:52 | 2: 9:38 | 3: 9:31 | 4: 9:39 | 5: 9:33 | 6: 9:34 | 7: 9:37 | 8: 9:38
Recumbent Bike Time: 25:00 | Distance: 4.10 | Set on “Manual,” Resistance Level 4.0
Day 583 | May 24, 2011: cross + strength class
During lunch I rode the bike in the gym, and after work, I went to my strength class. More medicine ball work and boxing! If you want to see a scary video of me and some classmates boxing, check it out here.
Bike Time: 30:00 | Distance: 5.33 | Set on “Manual,” Resistance Level 5.0

Day 585 | May 26, 2011: rest
Day 586 | May 27, 2011: 3.6 m run
I met Bobbi at the Rollins Savanna for a fun run! I love spending time with Bobbi. She is so upbeat and fun. We stood around and talked for about 30 minutes after our run. Ha. Maybe we should have run another loop!
Distance: 3.6 | Temp: 51° | Time: 36:48 | Avg Pace: 10:13 | 1: 9:50 | 2: 10:28 | 3: 10:27 | 4: 6:02
Day 587 | May 28, 2011: yoga
I did 25 minutes of a yoga DVD. My right shin is a bit tight and I can’t get it stretched out!
Day 588 | May 29, 2011: 26.4 m run (Madison Marathon)
Aww, I have such a thoughtful husband (that vegan jerquee gives me gas!). I am racing today! Wish me luck!
Week Summary: 38.00 miles
My Friday run with Bobbi reminded me how much I have been missing running with friends. I am making a new commitment to getting out there with people!

Good luck on your race! You are a working-out machine. So dedicated… 🙂
Best of luck for your race! Hope you can navigate through this hazy morning.
Oh and that vest is super hot! I love it! My hubby has a reflective belt that he makes me wear on occasion when I run in the dark, it makes me feel like a semi.
Can’t wait to hear about the race!
If you want a vest this Brooks one is cheap and comfortable. But I am not sure how well it works.
How was SF?
Yay! More fun runs! Thinking about you today…GOOD LUCK!!!
Good luck on your run!!
I just got our for a run with one of my friends yesterday – it was awesome. I too, need to do that more often.
That boxing video was awesome. It looks like so much fun and like such a good workout. Maybe I’ll make Joey do some boxing training with me. We have gloves.
Sounds like you had a great week. I can’t wait to start seeing mileage like that. I have been so lazy and it got SO hot here this weekend.
