| Running 39:00 [1]5.0 mi (7:48 / mi) | |
| |
| After running "extra" yesterday cut today's run short. Registered for the marathon. Had some extra energy since I ran somewhat slow on Thursday plus had to wait in a lot of intersections to cross the road. |
Thursday Nov 16 |
| Running 2:17:00 [1]17.0 mi (8:02 / mi) | |
| |
| Ended up on the slow side from all of the heavy rains today plus leaves in the street and the total darkness. Ran with my mini flashlight that helped some. I also overdressed for this thought it was cool so wore a long sleeve shirt that I did not need so was on the warm side after about two miles. Ended up getting in a real long downhill on Mass Ave- well lit so I could move along well in this part. Turned off my watch in an intersection and did not turn it back on so the time is an estimate might have been a couple minutes slower. |
Wednesday Nov 15 |
| Yard work 30:00 [1] | |
| |
| Picked the rest of the vegetables in the garden and flipped the soil. Raked up leaves in areas of the backyard where the trees are bare. The Japanese Maple still needs a couple more days to lose them all. Actual work time more; just don't want to add too much to my training log. |
| Running intervals 1:00:00 [3]7.75 mi (7:45 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran 5 X 1000 m at threshold. Ran with another group that was running 800m and just added 200m. Took a slow 200m recover since it took a while for the group to catch back up. Warmed up and cool down was two miles each. Ran the 1000's in 403, 405, 407, 405, 403. We were all talking a lot so we were very aerobic which made our pace a tad erratic running some of the 200 in over 50 seconds. Perfect weather for me to run in with low 60's and not many people on the track. |
| Weightlifting 50:00 [1] | |
| |
| Hurried to the gym before it closed to weightlift. Modified my schedule since I was no longer getting much benefit out of what I had been doing. This time I am only doing one set of each plus I am now keeping all leg lifts together doing them first and progressing to other body parts keeping all those lifts together. Able to get through the routine this quick so plan to add more. Ended with 150 sit-ups. With this new modification able to add some extra plates/weight or reps to about one-half of my lifts. Probably after I do this a couple of times will be able to add more. Before I was mixing up the leg lifts with upper body lifts to let the muscle group rest. |
Tuesday Nov 14 |
| Running 39:00 [1]5.0 mi (7:48 / mi) | |
| |
| With class and a meeting in the morning this is all the more I could squeeze in. |
Sunday Nov 12 |
| Running 1:10:00 [1]9.0 mi (7:46 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran easy at this pace. The temps dropped into the low 50's with rain and wind so this probably contributed to the faster run. Also purchased a new pair of sneakers. My last two pairs have only been OK to use these feel real comfortable and fast with the added bonus of cushion without the extra weight. |
