Week Ending Jan 14, 2012

Well I’m finally getting back into the swing of things and running regularly. I ran 63 miles last week and thought I could get up to 70 or 80 this week. On Sunday I ran a treadmill workout. I hate the treadmill. I only ran on it because I had to cover the gym as the ‘adult on duty’ this weekend and decided to kill two birds with one stone and get my run in while working. I ran 6.25 miles in 54 minutes. I know that doesn’t seem impressive, but I ran at 8% incline the entire time and I live at 6000ft. So it was a hard run starting at 6.2mph and ending at 7.9 mph (and 8%). Monday was a workout and I ran 6 x 1200. This is a typical winter workout for me. I try to do 10 x 800 or something like just to turn the legs over and stay in some form of shape. Tuesday was a medium day. I only ran 6.5 on Wednesday because it was really cold. I didn’t run on Thursday. I was so tired after work I had to go home and sleep. Something might be wrong with me because I have to sleep a lot and am feel exhausted all the time. I think I might have mono or something – I don’t know. Then again, I don’t know anyone who can run 70 miles per week with mono, so I’m stumped. Friday was another medium run and Saturday was a medium long run (not as long as I wanted). 57 miles for the week.
