1/8/18

Week of 12/25-12/31

Mon 12/25 - off. Celebrating the solstice (or thereabouts). In fact the morning's snow and attendant cleanup left me unwilling to do anything outside and frittered the day away such that I ran out of time to do even a modest place holder workout inside.

Tue 12/26 - AM 65 minutes incl. 6x1k. Not the workout I was originally planning to do, much longer in fact. Aiming for something just north of 80 second pace on the repeats and while it was a chore I was able to do it. 2.5 minute recoveries throughout. Splits of 3:23.7, 3:21.2, 3:22.8, 3:23.1, 3:22.8, 3:21.8
PM 30 minutes very easy putter around Maynard, scrounging. Very cold.

Wed 12/27 - PM 50 minutes easy, Levittown. Bitterly cold but dressed for it as best I could, as such avoided freezing to death. Left glute stiff as a board after yesterday's workout.

Thu 12/28 - PM 50 minutes easy. Late start after a long nap following the one day this week where I had to work. Not feeling it at all. Cold continues and it's obnoxious. Footing on the side streets is terrible as well.

Fri 12/29 - AM 50 minutes incl. 3 miles in 17:11, splits of 5:50.5, 5:43.4, and 5:37.3. Working a bit harder than I'd like at the end but felt reasonable before that. Then 4x100 in spikes, first time I've worn them in almost a year. Avoided pulling any muscles which is a win.
PM - 25 minutes very easy. Halfhearted attempt at scrounging in the worst cold yet experienced. Ugh.

Sat 12/30 - PM 60 minutes easy.

Sun 12/31 - AM 45 minutes easy followed by 30 minutes on the elliptigo trainer. In the current weather pattern having the indoor training option is awfully nice.
