Greetings rec.runners! Please tell us about your training week and goals.

goals: survive until I finish school (6 weeks away, yay); keep doing
the things I've been doing that I don't like to do; have patience and
faith that it will work. upcoming races: 5-miler May 12; other silly
short races after that; marathon Oct 7 (if I can get in) or Oct 21 (if
I can't).

M: 9mi (8:30)
T: 8mi (8:17)
W: AM 5mi (8:34), PM 6mi incl 12x300 (3 sets of 4, 100 between items,
500 between sets). goal 66, actual 60
R: 8.5mi (9:13) ha ha ha
F: 8.5mi (8:52) ha ha
Sa: 8mi (8:50) ha
Su: 10.2mi incl 10K race, triathlon relay - 42:41 on a hot sunny day.
bleh

total: 63.2 miles

I'm not happy with the race today. It was hot and sunny and dry, but
I ran a track workout (which I *am* happy with) Wednesday evening when
it was hot and sunny and dry, so I can't lean too heavily on that
excuse. I spent the entire 10K passing people and was lulled into a
false sense of confidence. I decided to take it easy the 5th mile
took it a little too easy with a 7:11, yikes. Anyway, I hope that if
I keep doing track workouts and stupid short races I will get out of
this rut.

good week all


Karen
