Monday: 4.6 miles (7:10), 4.3 miles (7:56)
My first double of 2014. To get to my goal weekly mileage these may have to be more common.
Tuesday: 9.3 miles (7:36)
Ran for just over 70 minutes. My goal for weekly runs is to have 3-4 easy singles per week where I'm running for 70-100 minutes. I think I'll start off doing these on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
Wednesday: 5.0 miles (7:19)
Thursday: 4.8 miles (6:53)
It was cold today! In Orlando, that means the high was in the 50s. I'm such a weenie, and really glad I don't live someplace like Minnesota. Anyways, I ran this on the treadmill, because I don't like cold weather.
Friday: 4.2 miles (7:29)
Saturday: 7.4 miles (6:48)
This was an interval workout on the treadmill. I like doing at least one workout a week on the treadmill. Treadmill running, in general, is boring. But, I like the fact that I can just set the speed for the interval and just zone out for a few minutes. I know I need to run workouts outside to work on my pace control, but I think I'll see how this works for my 5k fitness.
This workout was 3 x 1 mile with 3 minute rests. I was a little nervous going into this workout because I bombed it last week and only did 1 and 1/2 intervals before calling it quits. But this week was different. I nailed the intervals and then ran 4 x 400 m with 30 s rests at faster than 5k race pace. The mile intervals were (5:56, 5:53, 5:50) and the 400 m (1:25, 1:24, 1:23, 1:23).
Sunday: 12.3 miles (7:21)
My longest run since the OUC half. 7 miles easy and 5 miles (6:42, 6:41, 6:40, 6:37, 6:27) slightly faster than marathon pace. I finally feel recovered from the quad injury that I got from that race. It's nice to feel healthy again. I have a little more than a month before the Jacksonville Beach Run Donna marathon (http://breastcancermarathon.com/). I'm looking forward to running that race with my cousin, Ryan. But, I'm also looking forward to getting past that race so I can start building a bigger base. I've got two more weeks of training before I start tapering for that race.
Weekly Total: 52.0 miles
This is my first week over 50 miles since the week before the OUC half, almost 2 months. I had big plans for the Run Donna marathon, I want to break 3 hours. That's probably still possible, but it's been hard to get quality training in since the Marine Corps marathon at the end of October. I guess I'm finding out how long it really takes to recover from a marathon.
