Ran the trail with very little energy, stuck it out to get it done and put it in the log book ...wore the NB trail shoes, felt heavy for the first few minutes compared to the NB Road Minimus shoes that I have now gotten used to.

LONG RUN DAY

Run 120/10+ miles.

Coffeed up, electrolyed, 1/2 Cliff bar'd,5 hour energied, vitamined up, you'd think I'd have a great run...struggled just to hang in and hang on, which I did, PowerBar gel at 80 minutes...nothing semed to help much, just one of those days.

October 17

75X

SRBike 30/7.5 miles

Run 60/5+ miles

Yet another low energy day, did not want to run, managed to get through it...I am sensing a crash coming...am I overdoing it? Rest day needed?

October 18

SRBike 43/10.5 miles

Run 25/2= miles

All I could manage was a two miler, it felt like a lot more.  Mental and Physical weakness...CRASH time to rest and get some recovery.

October 19

50X

Run  65/5+ miles

SRBike 50/13 miles

GREAT RUN this morning!  Felt good right off, maybe yesterday's crash/2 miler gave me some recovery. Ran without thinking too much about foot strike, speed was above average and ENERGY was way up!  A run worth waiting for. Log it in.   

      



ENDURE

Thursday October 13, 2011

RUN: 76 minutes/6+miles

Stationary Bike: 32 minutes/8 miles

108 total minutes/1000 calories burned

This morning's run, started out as usual.  By 15 minutes I was simply tired, mentally for certian and physically it seemed.  I pushed on and at some point maybe 40 minutes in I decided to slow down and so I did, less pain and this made the run all the more doable.

For some reason I continued past any thoughts to do 5 miles and ended up at 6 plus.

Slow going kept me going. I thought of the word ENDURE.  Just ENDURE it. So I did. Then I pushed on to put in a 32 minute stationary bike ride.  ENDURING.
