It has been another long week of work even though I only worked 4 days this week, but at least my routine is back to normal, well almost. My running routine is still on pace with what I am supposed to be doing.
Tuesday I headed to the dome again to do my tempo repeats, it was definitely a tough run this time, I started with a 2k warm up followed by 2x 5k tempo pace (4:45) and then a 2.5k cool down. A total of 14.5k for the night. It was a tough workout but it always feels good when you're done.
Wednesday was a slower steady run, it was nice and mild out so it made it for a nice night for a run. I did a 15.3k run and I was able to slow it down even more than the week before for an average pace of 5:07. As soon as I finished my run a huge snow squall came by and you can't believe how happy I was to have finished.
Thursday I had another clinic night with K2J, on the schedule for tonight was 3-4x 1600m, 2x 800m and 4x 400m. So I started with a 2.7k warm up, then began my 1600m at a 4:20 pace, I figured 3 was good enough for me so then I began my 2x 800 at a 4:10 pace, but when I finished my first one I was told that I should have done 4 of the 1600m instead of 3 so I had to make it up by running an extra 800m sprint. Oops. Then I did my 4x 400m at a 4:00 pace, followed by a little 1.8k cool down for a total of 13.4k
I skipped my Friday run and went to see Blind Side (great movie). I kind of needed a break since I had a bit of a fall on Thursday and didn't really feel up to it. No big injuries from the fall just a scraped up hand and I think some bruising near my ribs.
Saturday is supposed to be my hills day but because of the fall I didn't want to push it too hard as my ribs and abs were still pretty sore. So instead I met up with the guys and ran at the dome a nice 8.6k at a 6:00 pace, it felt fine until the last couple of laps so I ended it there.
My total for this week is 71.8k
