End of Work Week
Haven't post for a couple of days. (Bad Brian bad.) Wednesday and Thursday were both great training days. Today was my scheduled day off.
The Wednesday night run with guys was especially tough as the pace was notched up just a little more than usual. We went through 5k in 23:06 after having started out fairly easy in the first 1/2k. Mentally I felt really strong Wednesday and did not back down from the pace for a while.
At 5K I dropped back and joined Faye (sp?) for the last 5k. Lactate acid had really built up in that first 5k and I never managed to feel very good for the 2nd 5k even though the pace was slightly slower than the first 5k. Went through 10k in 48:12. The cool down run after helped a lot.
Thursday nights long slow run was just what I needed. Total of 1:40 all in zone 1 (< 10.9k/hr). I actually felt better in the 2nd half of this run. Was feeling like I could go on for quite a bit longer. I may have been a bit tight going into this run tonight.
My fueling going into Thursday run was good this week. This has been an issue with several hard or long days in a row. Because I was able to work at home Wednesday and Thursday, I was able to go to the Table restaruant for lunch both days. This is a vegetarian buffet restaurant with fantastic salads and a great mixture of everything else. You pay by weight which is great as I can take only what I want. Avoided the desert table. :-). Going to the Table really ensures that I get a good meal. Total cost on average is about $7.50-8.00. Very cheap for what you get and its ready when you show up.
My sleep has been off all week. Unfortuntately got onto a bit of night schedule last weekend and never really got back to the "early to bed" that I need if I am going to get enough sleep each night.
Tomorrow is my nutrition appointment. We're also going to test body fat %'s. Being a 200 lb. runner I'm keen to here what she has to say. I'm also seeing her to make sure that I can get my weight down before New York in November.
Weight this morning:- 200.4 lbs. Goal for November:- 190
Sleep 6 1/2 hrs.
See ya on the run. :-)
