Note
(rest day)
Great week of training, and spending all of today in NYC, so rest day it is! Was considering running this morning but wasn't awake till 8.30 instead of 7.30, so decided I was probably tired. Death Cab tonight! Whoo whoo!

Playing in Harriman with Anders. It was a lot of fun, bouncing around off rocks and fallen trees, up many hills, finding an old mine shaft and having a good old chin wag at the same time. I am not very good at "running" up hills. I love how you can pick up after 4 years and it's like you last saw someone yesterday. After that we drove to the top of Bear Mountain and the view of Manhattan was really quite something, best I've seen from there. Then lunch at the Westchester and a brief stroll round Blue Mountain, which looks even more hurricane damaged when you're going at stroll pace. Great day. Tomorrow is also going to be excellent, ending with Youth Lagoon & Death Cab. Yey!

Easy jog round bits of West Woods with Rob. I am useless at reading their trail map, and we ended up on a very muddy section of the green and then squeezing through the rocks on yellow. Then a bit of the flat rock and back home on the red/blue. It's such a cool place to go, we should be back more often, especially as Rob is rapidly improving on the hills. The best bit is our boss let us go after our meeting at 2.30, so now we're all ready to relax for the evening and it isn't even 5. Mmmm.

Training session with Boris and Marie on East Rock. We did a warm up jog, then ten sets of 90 x 30s. I started off too fast and had to drop back. My legs felt good, but my stomach did not. Note to self, if you're going to train in the evening, you have to not eat curry twice in 24 hours then get home after a way too long shuttle ride (50 mins of snotty people today, should have walked) absolutely starving and have to eat cereal just before running hard. Marie was looking fantastic on the flats, and Boris was strong out front. And I will start to catch them! Good fun to train with partners for once.

Easy recovery with Rob, who had eaten nothing but half a deli sausage all day and thus was flagging a bit. Boys! I felt a bit wobbly too despite feeding myself all day, but it was fun to be out post rain.

The cross fit exercises minus the bike bits. I really hope the car air con diagnostics tomorrow aren't too expensive, then we can get properly started on it soon.

Intervals. Almost wimped out because it was cold outside and bed was so warm and lovely, but then reminded myself I've turned over a new leaf and that kind of behaviour isn't allowed. Today was session number two, 400, 400, 600, 600, 400 with 75 rest. Aimed for 1.37 and 2.25. Was worried on the warm up that this was going to be a struggle, but despite tired feeling legs the strides were zippy and then despite the wind on the track, the reps felt the same as last week - strong and smooth. Yey!

Everything's green! Recovery run, trying to stick below a 149 heart rate, but garmin was playing silly beggars and so I switched off the alert. I especially like the heart rate of 189 whilst running downhill at 11 min per mile pace. Time for a new strap battery I think. Was really enjoying plodding along out there, nice to be out in the wet for once.
