after a particularly nasty cold, i had a hard time getting going again. i was getting over it right around the time that it got really cold, and i just wasn't kicking the junky lungs part very quickly so it was quite easy to use the cold (weather and sickness) as an excuse. this past week, i've been trying to get out the door a little more, but it was only mildly successful. next week will be better. this always happens to me and i've learned that after i get derailed, i can't try to start right back up at higher mileage and several workouts/week. i just need to get myself out the door and get in easy mileage.
this week:
tuesday - sprint workout with kyla - 2x450 at 75 second 400 pace, followed by 4 fast 200s. after i cooled down a bit, i decided to try and see if i could do another 12 dungeons since i was already good and warmed up (ha). i made it to 8 before i stopped. i was having a hard time running relaxed and not too fast after the sprinting, so i decided to cut it short since it was counter-productive. a long cool down of 4 miles probably put me at about 6 for the day.
thursday - easy 4-4.5 mile run at lunchtime
sunday - easy 6 miles
my goal next week is to run at least 5 times and to go an average of at least 5 miles each time. i'll be doing kyla's workout with her again on tuesday, but other than that, probably just easy miles.

new year
well, i kind of fell off the wagon for a while - maybe 3 weeks... yikes. but this week has gotten off to a decent start:
monday: 3 miles on the indoor track "with" steve. it was all my knees and my sanity could take.
tuesday: did a workout with one of the sprinters. luckily, that is the only day of the week that i coul do their workouts with them, probably, and she didn't have anyone to run with. 1/2 mile warm-up, 2 x 500 at 6:00 mile pace, 4 x 200 fast - 33, 33, 35, 36. lots of recovery in between and 1 mile cool down. not a lot of mileage total, but it was a fun workout to do, so i think i'll keep doing that on tuesdays. i'll have the advantage of not having done 14x200 the day before.
wednesday: basically off, though i did jog 1 mile out to the start of the team's hill workout
thursday: dungeons with keren g (soccer/track coach) up in the rec center. we did 12 and averaged around 30.5 i think.
