Fri-Sun September 21-23 - 0! Vegas - nuff said. Amazing weekend, but absolutely destroyed my body. 30 miles for the week, 139 miles in September, 1289 miles in 2012.
Monday, September 24th - 8 miles. Ran with Crystal after work at night. Pretty dark outside, but we went out and back towards Home Depot with Crystal's headlamp. I had been hurting really bad all day (either a cold starting or remnants of a Vegas Bachelor Party weekend), but managed to get through this ok. 8:30ish pace overall.
Tuesday, September 25th - 0! Mother Nature is to blame. Had all intentions of doing my track work, but the thunder, lightning, wind, and uber rain stopped that. At 9:30 p.m., got tired of waiting and went to bed.
Wednesday September 26th - 10 miles: 4 miles a.m., 6 miles p.m. Went over to Parkway Central's track at lunchtime - was 75, sunny, and almost 80% humidity so quite awful. Track workout per Coach Ben was reverse ladder (1600, 1200, 800, 400) starting at 5K pace for the mile, then 2 seconds faster per lap as I moved down with 3 minutes rest in between reps. Did a quick warm up before jumping into it. Hit the mile fast and literally had to jog the last 200 to keep it honest. Got halfway through the 1200 before my body started to shut down because of the effort/heat. Had to talk myself into finishing the workout, and really worked to get it done. Splits were good, but effort was too much (5:55, 4:22, 2:47, 1:13). Cooldown, then back to work. In the p.m., did a weird loop on the trails and Village Circle before heading back. 6 miles - 50 minutes exactly. Felt pretty tired to get this all in, but had to make up for missing Tuesday.
Hoping to load up on mileage today and tomorrow before heading to Medinah tomorrow night for the Ryder Cup!
