Week #12: Recovery week!
Monday 11/23
RECOVERY DAY! I had to coach TVM Masters 5am practice (first time to morning practice in months and they had to pay me to get me there!) After that century on Sunday I took a whole day off! Nathan had the day off too, so it was great! We had a pre-Thanksgiving meal at Drew's house that night!

I coached TVM Masters this morning - I gave them a GOOD set! ;) Only some whining.
Run 12-12:30pm
First run of the week!? OMG - why do this to myself!!?? I can't take this much time off! I ran with Rio (Emily was out of town so had me take her dog, Rio out) at the Kane Trail. It was the first time using my NEW ANNIVERSARY GIFT: the Garmin Forerunner 305! SO EXCITED!
total: 3miles, 9:12/mile - at dog pace thats good!
Then I decorated a Christmas Tree! :)
Sunday 11/29
resting hr: 54
soreness/fatigue: 2
Run 8:30-9:45am
Took Tank and the Garmin (with the HR today!) to the Kane Trail. Me and Tank ran the trail at dog pace. That was only half my run, and I knew Tank couldn't handle any more. So, I put him in the car - there was food and water and some opened windows for him - and I ran the trail for a second time! I tried to increase my pace the second time on the trial and it worked! Fast pace, but a HIGH HR.
total: 7miles, avg: 9:09/mile, avg hr: 171bpm, max hr: 188bpm (thats ALMOST max)

Sharks & Minnows? Seriously? Oh, do tell!
ReplyDeleteits an old classic swimming game! there are 1 or 2 designated "sharks" that sit in middle of the pool. everyone else are "minnows" who are trying to make it safely from 1 side to the other. if the shark is able to tag you on the head ABOVE the water then that minnow now becomes a shark. When you're allowed to haul people up and wrestle to get their head up - it gets pretty interesting. :)
