Week Ending March 31, 2012

I continued running big miles this week getting back into ‘training mode.’  I went to Cheyenne Canon for an uphill workout on Sunday.  I ran 11 x 3:00 uphill repeats.  Monday was a long run up Barr Trail for an hour before I turned around.  Tuesday and Wednesday were both doubles with a medium distance in the morning and short, easy runs in the afternoon.  Thursday’s workout was a short, but good one.  I ran a 3 mile warm-up and then did five sets of 400m then 1200m (8000m total).  I felt pretty awful during the workout, but got a second wind or something during the last set, and totally crushed the last 1200.  Friday was another long run on Barr Trail and Saturday was a double a lot like Tuesday and Wednesday.  Overall this was a really good week.  I got two solid workouts in and ran a lot of miles.  104 miles for the week.
