I am hoping to hit 50 again this week, but I am becoming less concerned with quantity and more concerned with quality as move into the month of November. I do want to make sure that I stay above 40 right through the 5k, but what I really would like is a few good races. This weekend is a 10k in Kingston, ON and promises to be a good one. Its a Sunday race which is different, but it starts at 1pm which is nice temp wise. I got second two years ago, but according to results of other years my 35:13 should have had me 5th. Either way I am not likely to win and should have someone to work off.
Sun- easy 14.3 (1:45:01)
I had a very pleasant surprise when Lawton called yesterday and said they would be in town for the weekend. He was looking to for a run and when I told him my intentions were to go 14, god bless him, he didn't even blink . It was way better than last week and great to have company. This should be my last 14 miler in this cycle.
Mon- off
Tues-easy 7.2 (52:34)
Wed- 2up, 3x2mile tempo w/2 min rec, 2 down
I will start out saying this one sucked. I had originally intended to go a full 10k tempo on the Jingleville loop anticipating the last couple miles of it might start to feel like work. Instead it was a struggle from the beginning and I wasn't even hitting pace. At two miles I bagged that plan and settled on the above mentioned workout. As bad as I felt in the first one, the second and third were worse. The first one was slow, but the next two were pretty much where they were supposed to be. Ironically, the worse I felt, the faster I ran...
Splits: 12:30, 11:50, 11:43
Thurs- off
Fri- easy 7.2 (52:56)
