I felt better than I did during last week's long run, but not a whole lot better. My goal was to be around 9:17/mi, but I had to walk a few times and ended up considerably slower. Maybe I'll be b... read more

good 6 mi. Long Tempo Run (Treadmill) 6.75 mi 01:00 08:51 pace
Negative windchill means another run on the dreadmill. I felt pretty good for this entire run, and certainly better than I expected to feel after the slow start I've had in training for Lincoln. ... read more

3x1600m Intervals (Treadmill) 4.8 mi 00:44 09:03 pace
Tough workout. I think there is something wrong with my footpod, because the paces were all over the place, so these numbers are just estimates. My goal split for each 1600 m repeat was 7:37

alright 9.5 Mile Long Run 9.55 mi 01:36 10:02 pace
My first long run since Disney. It was pretty tough (although, I think that had a bit to do with the fact that I donate blood earlier this week). My goal had been to average around 9:10/mi, but t... read more

Now that I think about it, technically this wasn't my first long run since Disney. I did an 8 mile run a couple weeks ago.

blah 3 mi. Short Tempo 4.67 mi 00:45 09:42 pace
My first run in more than a week thanks to my injured calf. It still felt pretty tight and a little sore, but I think it is mostly healed. We'll find out if later today I can't walk, then I'll kn... read more

Nice Job:
Way to go on getting back into it. Be sure to listen to your body though, you don't want to prolong the injury.

I think I might have a minor soleus strain. Standard recovery is 7-10 days of NO RUNNING. Ugh, I guess I better get used to the pool at my Lifetime for a week or two.

Take it easy and heel fully before running again, you don't want to prolong the injury. Swimming though is great cardio.

My first swimming workout in a few months. It is still really hard, but I can definitely tell that I am in better cardiovascular condition than I was then. This workout consisted of a 20 min. set... read more

I felt good for most of the intervals, but by the end my calf was hurting. I hope it was just tight.

1) 1200 m - 5:39 (goal 5:37)
2) 1000 m - 4:39 (goal 4:38)

More fun on the treadmill! My first tempo run since being back in Minnesota. It went OK, but the first mile and a half was tough. I forgot how hard these short tempo runs can be.

Back into training! I'm still taking it slightly easier for this week and maybe next week, and then it's back into full training mode for the Lincoln Half!

You've definitely earned an easy week! Enjoy the great indoors.

great Walt Disney World Half Marathon 13.18 mi 01:55 08:43 pace
An awesome, awesome, awesome race! This event is so much fun (even at 5:30 in the morning). My official (chip) time was 1:55:07, which is a half marathon PR by more than 10 minutes!
