"Running allows us to define our weaknesses and make them strengths. It
supplies those missing attributes that diminish us and keep us from
functioning fully. It makes us whole."

George Sheehan

mixing it up

I'm continuing to mix up the training and still feeling good about it. However, I did not get in as much training as I would have liked this weekend. I guess i have to just acknowledge my body got some rest.

Here's the weeek in review:

Tuesday:

2 x 800 @ 8:00 pace/treadmill

4 x 400
(1st = 7:53 pace)
(2nd = 7:47 pace)
(3rd = 7:47 pace)
(4th = 7:41 pace)

weights

a good fast workout at gym! I'm getting better!

Sunday:

13 mile bike ride; 57:12

[Very hilly course! The hills were pretty brutal and mostly unexpected as I rode in unfamiliar territory. Felt very pleased though when it was done. A nice mix from last week which was all flat.]

19:02 - run

Like i mentioned, i would have liked to have gotten in much more, but at least my body got some time off. Now, I hope to get more in this week. Weather has been very nice, for the most part. Not too warm and very little humidity.

I am seriously thinking of traveling to Philadelphia first weekend in June for a 10k trail run. See the link at right. Looks fun!!
