AM Workout: 8 Mile Run
Course: Victory Blvd East
Time: 1:09:56
Weather: 45F, Cloudy, Heavy Winds
An unusually cold day for May. I woke up extremely tired from the lack of sleep and the 14 hours at a North Face Endurance Challenge aid station yesterday. I somehow got into my shoes and ran at an easy pace for 8 miles. This run was tough for several reasons...lack of sleep and lack of a decent meal yesterday (pizza was served at the aid station, but it's not a good source of sustenance for performance).
On top of that today is Mother's Day (wishing all mother's a happy Mother's Day out there). Meaning my afternoon will be spent in a restaurant with the family celebrating my mother. Sooooo, the day is focused on planning for the next week and to get the sleep needed to get into balance again to be ready for that next week.
My bike ride and swim were cancelled today for that matter.
Oh well, I give the week a B overall. There were some really great workouts done this week, but I didn't quite make the mileage that I wanted to. I have my 100k Fat Ass run in 2 weeks and will decide how to tackle the next week. Should I taper a little or should I put in a longish (30 mile) run next weekend? I'll decide on that soon.
