Week's Summary
Actually not too bad of a week. I am still fatigued and a little tired from the Salt Lake Marathon and the subsequent 30K race I did the week after. I just don't have a lot of oomph in my legs.
I did manage to get an impromptu speed work out in on Monday. I sort of wish I had my Garmin to have recorded my pace. I was moving pretty good and felt like I got in a quality session.
I did a 5K workout (of sorts) on Thursday, with 8 quarter mile repeats with about .08 to .1 mile of walk break. I completed the workout, but I didn't feel particularly fast. Looking at my Garmin pull, my strides were well off. I also found myself fatiguing quite easily. Granted it was warm but I certainly didn't have it.
The long run went okay as well but it was humbling to see a number of runners blow by me. Of course, they are half my age but still I want to run with the big boys. Accepting the consequences of going older and seeing your best performances in the rear view mirror is a difficult process.
Very quick and short hike with my mom up in Big Cottonwood Canyon |
Upcoming Races
My mom is still in town and it isn't looking good for any sort of races in early May. Hopefully I can squeeze one in at some point but I see her so infrequently that I certainly make it a priority to focus on her. I am still getting in my training, but hard to justify ditching for a race.
