April 22 – 29
Total Mileage – 21.1
Weight – 216.5
I survived traveling to and from Ohio (seriously, it takes a day to get there and a day to get back) and managed to get a few runs in after work. I am generally a morning runner, but since I was thrown off by the three hour time difference I figured a night run may be more feasible. Since Monday was a travel day we did not have anything scheduled so I got in a 9 mile run. I paid the price for it the next day. My left foot (not to be confused with the movie by the same name) and my right Achilles were killing me. By Wednesday evening I was feeling good, but we had the inevitable corporate appetizers/drinks, followed by the team dinner/drinks. Thanks to the VP and one of our consultants, my drinks went from singles to a doubles which is definitely not conducive to a run; however I gave it an hour and a half then decided I needed to get my other run in. I hit the treadmill at the hotel and had a good run considering. Still came in under 10 miles per, and aside from a little tenderness in the right Achilles, I am feeling good. My short run of the week was pretty killer. It is great to be back home, but all of the travel took its toll. I clocked in right around 10:50 per for the 5k and was feeling pretty beat. I am glad that I get to taper mileage this week as I am going to need all the rest I can get if I want to have any shot at going under 2:30 on Saturday. (I checked the weather…Rain in Saturday’s forcast, mixed with off road trails…perfect)
