Peaking Tuesday's
Another Peak day (strenghth & conditioning). I have to say that tonights workout was awesome. It was hard but I really felt "on" tonight. So why do we feel "on" some days and the opposite on other days? I'll take these days when I can get 'em.
I remember wondering what it would be like to run 100k in a week. (Probably most sane people don't wonder about that.) This week if all the runs pan out I'll hit a little over a 100k. I half expected to feel really beat up with this kinda of mileage but I actually feel great tonight. Obviously the program I'm getting from Peak is working. I'm just doing the work but they're putting the program together for me. I'm just kinda of amazed and excited at the same time. I really feel like I'm taking some concrete steps towards reaching my goal of qualifying for Boston.
Yesterdays run was properly below zone 1 where it was supposed to be. I need to be very focused on keeping these easy runs truly easy. Staying focused on these easy runs is really the challenge for me. Its very easy to slip into zone 1 which is not the goal of that run.
Tonight at Peak one of my colleagues from the office was also working out. He's always encouraging me and even listens to me crazy ambitions. Makes the time pass quickly. Thanks Dave.
I'm trying not to analyze tonight's run to much. It was good and that's all that matters.
Also talked to my brother today. He and my wife will be doing a 5k on the 23rd here in Ottawa. I'll be be doing the 10k on the same day. Should be a lot of fun especially watching my nieces cheer on their dad.
Morning weight:- 191.6 lbs
