Training Log Archive: EricP

Cold is worse today. Maybe allergies? Had planned to taper anyway. Looks like it may be more than I envisioned. Plan for this week:

Tue: Training @ Wissahickon
Wed: Short run @ lunch
Thursday: Shortened long/slow run to make up for missed tonight.
Friday: Rest
Sat/Sun: Races

Event: HVO/DVOA Dual Meet
 

Another decent run. Came out of 2 going in completely the wrong direction (for about 150m), let myself get distracted by other runners a couple of times, and a couple of less than desirable route choices. I did lose a little time at the GO control waiting for a family to upright the control stand after their 4-5 year old decided to move the saw horse.

BUT, on whole, I did a good job of keeping myself moving and spiked many more than I goofed. This week is six months since my first o' meet.

Control pick-up

Can't kick this cold/cough. I'll take it easy the next few days to see if that helps. Want to be ready for next week.

At lunch today, I drove over to Bell's Mill Rd. on the western edge of Wissahickon Park to see how long the drive is from work. It took just a little over 10 minutes from lot to lot, so it will be tight for anything more than a half hour run during lunch break. It would be nice to run in daylight a couple of days a week.

Ran my neighborhood, then accross to the Knoll. Came back bored, so I ran timed laps of the .5 km loop in front of my house. 2 hard, 1 recovery, 2 hard. The two 1km runs were each 4'40".

Looking for someplace to run at lunch, now that it's dark early.

17km
First day back to work after the vacation. Got out late.
