The Running Diva

Friday, December 21, 2007

I went to work early today so I could hit the trails before it got too dark to do my WO this afternoon. Juice did a track WO with Wayne this morning. Apparently the UVic track was locked so they had to run over to the Oak Bay track from Wayne’s place.

There were only two cars in the p-lot at the lakes so it really felt like I had the trail all to myself! It was a good run for me tonight. The WO was 30 minutes at tempo pace. I felt strong right up to the last 5-7 minutes which is where I expect to start hurting unlike the last few weeks which had me sucking air after only ten minutes. I also ran about 300m past where I stopped about a month ago when I ran this route and more importantly, I felt better doing it this time around…nice! This was a great way to end a couple of big weeks…now I will will have an easier week. Matty sent me a training plan to follow while away. With the Half less than a month away, I still have to train. It looks like a week with less volume and only two WOs, one 6 x 5 minutes and the other is 60″ on, 60″ off x 10 so not too bad at all.

I plan on staying as far away as possible from any computer so this will be my last post for a week…so have a very merry holiday everyone!!
