10K on the 10th<\/a> (although the race director would NOT accept my DNF. I told her she needs to apply for the position of RD for Boston as I could really use her leniency there), as well as the less-than-stellar run leading up to that race.<\/p>\nHere’s, as Paul Harvey would say, “the rest of the story”:<\/p>\n
Sunday<\/strong>: a whole lotta nuttin’<\/p>\nMonday<\/strong>: typical morning weight routine; 9.25 mile BUAL\u2122 workout w\/five 600m sprints. I must say, they’ve been feeling less like a “barf up a lung” workout and more like a “my quads are on fire.” But MQAOF is just too darn hard to say.<\/p>\nTuesday<\/strong>: I don’t know how my yoga instructor does it, but she often has an uncanny sense for what I need. Today it was hip openers (get your minds out of the gutter). While the class was challenging, I felt incredible afterwards.<\/p>\nWednesday<\/strong>: morning routine; 6-mile recovery run in the afternoon (9:19 average pace)<\/p>\nThursday<\/strong>: stretching\/PT in the morning. Afternoon was supposed to be an 11-mile run, but I could only muster up 7 1\/2 due to a tight calf. Average pace: 10:07<\/p>\nFriday<\/strong>: Played hooky from the gym, but ran my 10K race that afternoon.<\/p>\nSaturday<\/strong>: Rest day in preparation for the Kirkland Half Marathon.<\/p>\nOnce again you’ll see my weekly mileage does NOT follow the 10% rule, but again, it’s due to moving my long runs to Sundays when appropriate. I do, however, follow the hard\/easy rule (making sure I follow a hard run with a rest or recovery day).<\/p>\n
So that’s it for this week. I promise next week will be much more entertaining. (Boy, nothing like putting the pressure on, huh?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Oh dear; it’s already Thursday and I haven’t posted last week’s workout! How on earth you’ve been surviving, I’ll never know. But really, there’s not much to tell that hasn’t already been said. You already know about my dismal 10K on the 10th (although the race director would NOT accept my DNF.
