Training Log Archive: Spike

HVO red course at Sebago. Warm weather (mid/upper 80s)...I suffered. When I compared splits it was clear I slowed on the way to the third control, then crawled the last k or so. I climbed 1240 feet. ST=562.

Jogging around at SMP. Dick, Nancy, Mary, Fritz and Nadim made it. Snorkel showed up for a visit (he ran earlier). We jogged to/from the car.

I ran the test loop in 16:12. The time isn't especially good (last month I ran 15:24). The trail was a bit muddy and the weather was a bit warm -- both costing me a little time I suppose. I finished faster than Nadim! Unfortunately, he took a wrong turn near the end (he'd made up nearly a minute on me by just past the halfway point). Climb for the whole session (including warm up and jog to the car) was 440 feet.

Jogging around at Wyandotte to warm up, then back to the car. Humid today, but not so warm.

Intervals -- 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2 and 1. I rested by walking until my h.r. dropped to 140 (recovery times from 28-48 seconds). Including the 35 minutes of jogging, I climbed 440 feet.

Usually when I wake up on a weekend I feel like running. Today I didn't. So, I didn't run. Instead of running, I brewed some coffee and sat around reading (no NASCAR race to watch today!) -- a lazy day. I put in a few minutes on the trainer just to break a sweat.
