Friday January 28 - Workouts

master_of_none · Jan 28, 2011

Good morning folks. TRX suspension class today at the Y and it was very good. I feel very different when done with one of these classes vs a barbell / dumbbell routine.
 
In our town paper someone wrote a Letter to the Editors and was upset with runners on the roads during the winter in the early morning / early evening. I have to figuare one of the people was Thor. Of course he used the word jogging but what does he know.
 
have a great day

juliemboyle · Jan 28, 2011

Master: Yes, I bet it was Thor! ps..........thanks for the email regarding the fundraising.........great suggestions

Me: 5 mile tempo run with Cari........glad the FMRC (Friday morning running club) wasn't cancelled due to another storm!

Supposed to be a rest day for me, but.....
 
I have a 14 miler scheduled for tomorrow and there is sleet and freezing rain in the forcast. I logged in to see if I had any work today and nada. Though I am technically supposed to take a day between run workouts in my current training plan, I am debating on whether I should do my run today. I really don't want to run 14 miles on a treadmill, which is what I will likely have to do if I wait until tomorrow. My run yesterday was a 5 mile tempo run. I did it at 6:00 am. Would running this afternoon, more than 24 hrs later be enough time for recovery? I feel fine and the 14 miler is 45-60 secs/mile slower than my planned marathon pace.
 
Suggestions?

 I would definitely run the 14 today. Maybe just go 15sec per mile or so slower than normal to be safe?

MBannon · Jan 28, 2011

Rest day for me, although it sounds like now I might need to run up to Seattle to kick Kristine25's butt.

jenotter · Jan 28, 2011

Yeah, I'd do the 14 today too, xflbk43 (as late as possible).
 
Much needed scheduled DOR today. I haven't had any super hard workouts this week, but I'm pooped!

hobey · Jan 28, 2011

Rest day for me. Planned but I need to rest & ice my left inner ankle (right below the ankle bone). I had caught it between rocks climbing up Camelback last week and it's still a bit bruised and tender. &^#%&^@& soft tissue!
 
Now that our new floors are in, it's back to IKEA to pick up furniture. Our two main projects are done. Several more room painting projects are on the list but were just added since we made pretty good progress with the game room.

Swimming this evening with the special needs kiddos.
 
I was going to do a 2 mile easy run but my left knee "feels" swollen, no pain, just swollen??? Weird. 
It had better not be talking to Matt's knee.

Hang on, I'll ask...no response. How rude.

37m 35s - 4.56 miles - 08m 14s/Mi 
10:40 AM 
Equipment: Adidas Adizero Mana 
Warm/mid 50s - Sunny and light wind. Crawford/Grinnell to Powers turnaround to Crandall/Hubbell/Corliss/Upton/home. Short medium effort run. Stretching afterward.

juliemboyle · Jan 28, 2011

X: I would do the 14 today too........

Thor · Jan 28, 2011

Good afternoon, TEAM LIT!
 
x: It's probably on the late side, but I would do the 14 today. You of all people know that the art of training is fitting things in around real life. And honestly, there is no set plan that says you have to do x, y, and z on date A or you will not reap any benefit. So go with your instinct. You know the right thing to do.
 
Mayor/Master: LRR alerted me to the letter. Wait until you see HIS response! And ummm... maybe that idiot running down Haverhill was me. So what!

Back on the interview train today, so late to post for me...
 
4 mile run early this cold morning.
 
Great day, Peopls!

I don't know about anyone else but I wanna see what it says. Is there an online version of this paper? <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">
And no, I have nothing to do this afternoon!

nothing has the wife is back in the hospital for the 3rd time this month. I am thinking it may be wise to cancel my races and just work out and help her.

Eric - hope your wife is ok.
 
7 recovery miles, 2 of which was aweful footing.

pcsronbo · Jan 29, 2011

90min on treadmill, 65min steady z2. footing sucks out here and apparently it's still dark at 5am. Dangit. Black Ice and Black Sky don't match.
 
Then doughnuts for dads... except I don't do doughnuts. Not until I'm under goal weight. So I hung with the kiddos and had a bagel chunk and then got to visit their classrooms for a half hour each. Really sad seeing how few dads were in my kids' classrooms. I mean there was maybe 3-4 in one (with 20+ kids) and 5 in the other (with 24+ kids). One little guy (2nd grade) was bawling his eyes out. Felt so bad. Several other very sad kids too (ones without dads there). I'm sure most of their dads were working, but it's really sad regardless. Either they couldn't or wouldn't take the morning off. Reminds me how blessed I am to have a flexi-schedule. Remind me of that when I'm up at 2am some night dealing with a client server down.
 
Then off to PT where my PT proclaimed, loudly, "I have applied more pressure and harder application of technique to you than anyone else in my 16 year career... and you still didn't cry uncle". Well, I cried, just on the inside. Holy shit it hurt. But it works. So do it. Breaking up scar adhesions and stretching PSOAS and hip flexors and glutes and all the good running stuff.
 
Seems like we found something awesome monday though... L4 vertebra wasn't moving, rest were. Well... that's where hip flexors and some other stuff attach. Which is what is tight. Guess where my back pain has been for years? yeah. When to chiro, made him crack it. That's the first time EVER in 10 years of seeing that Chiro he's gotten any lumbar movement. I have had no noticable pain since. Freakin COOL.
 
Then 20min weights/core.
 
Holy crap I'm tired. I need a vacation. Good thing. Going tommorow (but my bike is too!)

Dougie Fresh · Jan 29, 2011

I got out on the trails for about 33min of x-c skiing.
