well, this has been a lesson in consistency. when you get busy, it's easy once you're sliding to just keep sliding and not get back on track. i updated my training log and realized that the two bad weeks i thought i had were really 3 bad weeks. yikes. so... here's the update:
(to finish the week of june 1)
monday: OFF - huge weeny with hot weather
tuesday: 10 total - 6 AM, 4 PM
Wendesday: 6
Thursday: 6
Friday: 6 in Madison before we headed north
Saturday and Sunday: hungover and okay with not running. You guys only get married twice. :)
Total: 28 miles in 4 days
week of June 6:
Monday-Saturday: OFF...only partially my fault. my calves were so tight and crampy post-dancing that i had a hard time walking the first couple of days. when i tried to run on wednesday, i made it about 3 blocks before i decided it was getting exponentially worse instead of better and hobbled home. finally, on sunday, i was able to get in a complete run, though my calves were starting to get tight at the end. i probably could have gotten a little something in on friday or saturday, but i let myself not run because of the state track meet. oh well.
Sunday: 6 slow, slow miles
week of June 13:
Monday: 6- pushed pace a little
Tuesday: 6- pushed pace kind of a lot because i felt surprisingly good
Wednesday: 4 slow, achy miles. The past two days caught up with me.
Thursday-Friday: OFF. Didn't make time with reunion happening.
Saturday: 9 excellent miles. Intended to go 15, with a pitstop at 9 to take a gel and some water, but when i finished the 9, i decided to call it a day as my hamstring thing had been feeling tight during the whole run. since that was my longest run in a shockingly long time, i figured, better safe than sorry.
Sunday: OFF - lame.
Conclusions: I need to drink less or suck it up and run when I don't feel 100% the next day. Hopefully (lame) this is the end of my big events for the summer, so it shouldn't be as big of a deal, but it really messed with me for the last few weeks.
