<p>Namhela - smart move on the hills yesterday.  Some days you got it, some days you don't.  It's tough to know when you need to push through the rough days and when its your body telling you need a rest.  When in doubt, its usually best to take a rest day.</p>

<p>Another long, easy TM day for me.  17.4 mi in 2 hrs.  z1/z2.  40 mi over the past 3 days, all on the TM, and my legs are feeling it a bit.  Fortunately I fly to Anchorage this evening and then home tomorrow night, so I'll have two weeks running outdoors!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Keep moving, tri-peeps!</p>

<p>Just went back to yesterday's daily bread thread and saw that what I did this morning on the TM was similiar to what you did. Those 3 x 12 min ones kicked my ass. I did the first two at 5:56 but had to notch one slower (to 6:00) on the last, and even that one I was holding on for dear life. Good workout!</p>

Equipment: Nike Marathoner<br><br>
Warm/low 50s - sunny and very strong winds. Crawford/Grinnell toPowers turnaround to Amherst/Watson/path/Upton/home. Nice steady pace run made more difficult by the wind. Stretching afterward.</p>

Looks like you did more speedwork before you hit the 3 x 12 sets though, which I can see making it much tougher.  My challenge is I've got to do 26 x 1 mi @ 5:55 min/mi with no recovery come April 18th.  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">  Last week was 3 x 10 for me, this week was 3 x 12, can't wait to see what next week holds.</span></p>

<p>Dang...some tough workouts today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm in a step back week, so 5m of 0.5m intervals on the TM today with an easy warm up and cool down. Didn't look at the final time, but guessing around 46 mins.</p>

<p>4.5 mile run at lunch. 8:20 pace ... so, at least a steady drop in pace over the last three runs. I'll take it. Temps were okay, and heading up. Hopefully some of the ice will melt off road and sidewalks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Took a DOR yesterday. Crazy at work. Not pretty around these parts for survivors of recent carnage. Ugghhh.</p>

<p>Thor you did a 13.1 as "speedwork" Jes-o-petes and people call me nuts!! <span><img alt="icon_blackeye.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_blackeye.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"></span></p>
<p>And Mike, you're equally batty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wonder if I were to a do a one mile what I could do now. Probably 9min. So you're just about twice as fast. Dayum.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me, up at 4am again and got a 5.2mile run in 1 hr before off to an early day, downtown. Ug. HR wasn't right. I hit the targets, but I was doing WAY too dang fast for Z2 work and breathing was too hard for it. Was really Z3/4 work with Z2 result. Had same problem on trainer yesterday for about half of it. I suspect fatigue is building or it's these 4am wake ups. I'll blame 4am for now :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Later masters swim, she'll probably try to kill me. Yup, I bet she will.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sparty - OOOOUCH</p>

<p>Solid workouts all! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>6hrs driving home almost killed me.  Gave myself a permission to skip swimming this evening.  I did another 20min technique session in the hotel pool this morning, though.  Perfect length and nice and warm water, unlike freezing cold water at my gym pool.  Rest from running, first day in like 2wks.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Foot is doing ok and and my running is not affected by it at all (knock on wood), but it is there and weird foot step/twisting lower leg in certain ways remind me something not quite right.  So seeing podiatrist tomorrow morning.  MP run tomorrow. </p>

<p>Completed my 2k time trial in the pool in 34:30. That is a 1:43/100 m pace (or 1:34/100 yd for all you troglodytes <span><img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>). I felt strong with good form the whole time and wasn't completely dead at the end so still plenty left in the tank. Room for improvement I guess! Was aiming for sub 35 so I can't complain.</p>
