Pitter Patter of Fast Feet... aka PFFT (Page 9)

Hit the beach and did a little Kenyan Outback tonight. Did 10 miles with electronic pacing.

Did the first 5 at a comfortably hard pace and then kicked up the return trip with the intent of running a negative split. (And a negative split it was)

Now at: 108/250 - 43%

Team: 33:45

Go Team Pfreaky Pfft

Now trying for sympathy huh.....

I'm at 45 % -- right on schedule

Yeah, that is perfect for getting to the Piriformis.

O.K. den...here's another sympathy plea...

1 hour spin, high RPMs (>95).  3.33 miles on the dreadmill.  Two mile repeats at marathon pace minus 30 sec (8:27s).

Alright, let's ge tout there and get our run on! I am the first to admit that my running has not been as fast as I wanted. (Loving gettign sick, then unmotivated)... But we can pull up those %ages... So look at your training log, your at your running schedule, and ask yourself, "How can I push to hit that goal!" Challenge yourself!!!

Today, I got my long run in for the week. Weather was frightful ice, snow then 2" of rain. I tried to push it back  until tomorrow but my coach encouraged me to suck it up (but in a nicer way) and do it today as I'm doing a 5K on Sunday.

About 85 minutes on the treadmill...it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I actually enjoyed keeping even pace and being able to see correlation between pace and HR. 

My previous long treadmill run was about an hour back in 9/04 before my first tri. In recent history maybe 45 minutes was top and I thought I'd go nuts.

27.8 miles done 

Isn't that the truth - when you are warmer, we are colder, and vice versa... weird how the jet stream works. 

I do that two different ways...laying on my back with my hands supporting my leg just above my knee and pulling towards me.

Other way I do it sitting up craddling my knee with my hands and try to pull towards me as well.

 PT suggested standing someplace you can put your bottom part of you leg on..sink or table..needs to be right height..turning your foot in and knee out and stretching that way too which works well.

Ugg, Another puke fest at the track tonight. Did another one of those sick progression runs that my wacky marathoner friends gave me

Did 10 miles total in 1:10:04.

Now: 118/250 - 47%

Team: 34.71 %

Now I am going to scarf some food and get on the trainer.

Train Well Pfreak Pfft

four miles today with a shortened LT test at 31.05/60miles

 treadmill

As close to a run LT test as feel comfortable doing at this point.  Averaging last 15.5 minutes instead of 20 minutes.  Will try full run LT in a month. 

 1mi at 11min/mi at 148bpm average

 1mi at  8min/mi at 187bpm average

 1 more mile at 8min/mi at 195bpm average

 1 last mile at  7.5min/mi at 198bpm average

Short run this morning, 3.25 miles 36.19/80.  Not quite at the monthly %, but my weekend runs will put me over.

Go team PFFT!!!!

Oh, and enjoy your VD !

 Happy Valentine's Day Team Pfreaky Pfft

Happy Valentine's Day Team PFFT! 

And it warmed up to 30F here, that's 40-50 degrees warmer than it was this last weekend! That's almost naked running weather!

Took a long lunch today to get my run in. Now at:

Run: 128/250 - 51%

Team: 35.45%

Have another 32 miles planned for the remainder of our week (Ending Saturday) which should put me at 160 if I hit all of my workouts. Seems like I am on track to finish at or just above my goal this month as long as I stay healthy.

Train Well Team Pfreaky Pfft

Good run today puts me at 21.15 of 35 committed miles for this month.

Happy Valentines Day, team!

4.5 this morning to go over 50%!!!

Get out and run this weekend!!!

8 miles this morning put me over 50% as well.  What's more, it was my longest run to date!!

Hope everyone's doing well, keep it up!! 

32/55 miles done. I'm at 58%, team is at 38.84%

Next week is a recovery week for me, so I won't have many miles at all, but I'm right on track to finish exactly at 55 miles!
