I knew it was coming.
After that fun time in Richmond, PR’ing my half marathon by over six minutes. It was time.
Recovery week. Which makes me antsy and angry.
Luckily, I had a ton of other things going on to distract
me, such as multi-day meetings I had to run. And, um, replacement of my 18 year
old car. Writing a $xx,000 check is a good adrenaline surge substitute for a
hard tempo run, but I don’t suggest doing it too often.
Monday: 20-some aimless miles of biking around DC and
Arlington roads and trails. Beautiful day for it, yet so casual that I took my
road bike and didn’t even bother with real bike shorts.
Tuesday: 4500 yards of swimming with DCRP Masters.
Wednesday: 4.75 mile track workout with 3x1200
(6:13-6:02-5:57)
Thursday: A workout with DCRP that I didn’t really feel
like finishing…so I swam 2600 yards and called it a night. After deferring my
weights workout from the morning. My work ethic is stellar, isn't it?
Friday: A 6.65 mile “long run” at 9:32 pace in the
morning, which was evidently just 0.01 miles too short.
Saturday: 24 miles of biking on Beach Drive at a fairly
easy pace, but back on the tri bike this time.
Sunday: A 4000 meter swim, plus the deferred Thursday strength training workout, in the morning.
I hate when runs are a bit too short to make for great stories. 6.66 is the best amount of mileage if I do say so myself. Hope you are pretty recovered and if not just spend next week riding alpacas.
